One mom said she cried for 10 days after hearing she was being removed from her daughter’s birth certificate.

    Raising taxes on the people that chronically find ways to never pay taxes. Not raising taxes on regular people. Nice try framing the argument the way you think it ought to go.

      You said it yourself.

      Not raising taxes on regular people

      Regular people range in age, income, education, districts where they live, various kinds of health, ethnic background and so on. Dunno why I wrote that.

      How do you determine “regular” in the law, in simple unambiguous words?

        I believe taxes for the top 3 (if not 4) quintiles in the US should be higher.

        So yeah, regular people don’t pay enough in taxes

          OK. I’m in general against raising taxes, but if yes, then top 4, because market incentives (share of the tax income) work on governments too.

            That doesn’t really make any sense as a response. My concern with the second quintile is damaging social mobility, which is key to a growing economy

              That doesn’t really make any sense as a response.

              For you, but I explained why. The same reason as why something controlled by people from the upper quintiles may become “too big to fail”.

              The more you are taxing people, the more you want their income not to tank. I think this is obvious.

                Again this makes no sense

                    I am not leftist, and I know more about economics than you do, clearly.
