    The funny thing is…we don’t even need to tax the rich…we just need to stop spending like the CC has no limit…so much wasted funding goes through middle man style private companies and just gets abused… it’s insane.

      I mean, I’m not really interested in reigning in spending on things like social programs. I do think the military could get slashed by a very large amount, however. Especially considering how much military contractors over-inflate the cost of absolutely everything they sell the US government. Instead, I’d rather we just pay for the stuff we want to do by decreasing the wage gap by a VERY large margin and fixing the business tax code.

        Over half the budget is social programs though, they’re just no effective because they’re dolled out to a lot of private businesses.
