Absolutely. Liberals will see “new tax on billionaires” and break out the confetti, but it’s literally “between the couch cushions” money to them. I don’t know about them, but the money taken through my effective tax rate genuinely could impact my life for the better. At the very least, there’s a chance radlibs will see through this one. I know something like this would have put me past the line back in the day.
The only one that’s almost reasonable is the lowest tax bracket, which would be better at 4%. For the rest, I’d double it and add 2%. That’s almost approaching something fair in the capitalist system
that’s the problem - there is no such thing, the unfairness is built in to the system, it’s not a bug.
Which is why the whole system needs abolishing, and not just its symptoms addressed.
I hate to preach to the choir, I just feel like these things need repeating as often as possible…
