I’ll make the same argument that I made in another thread, but now that I’ve got Bernie on my side, maybe people will listen.
TAXING THE RICH DOESN’T MEAN RAISING THE TAX RATES.
It means regulation, oversight, and accountability. You can set the tax rate to any number you want, but it won’t matter if no one is making them pay it. We have to hold them accountable first, and then we can bring the rates back up to something from the pre-Reagan era.
That’s what I tell my partners. They are, thus far, unimpressed.
