Except that raising taxes on the rich is merely reversing misguided tax cuts for the rich that were supposed to benefit everybody, but of course didn't.

Similar to Obamacare (ACA) is a great law.

It never benefited everybody, however. The entire premise of heavily taxing the rich failed. Then cutting taxes on the rich failed. And no one has learned this. We still have people thinking that certain people should be taxed more or less based on their income with no empirical evidence to support it. It's a big lie.

The economy is resurging, the inflation rate is non existent and unemployment hovers around 8%.

Printing $85B a month is good for the economy and the government creates jobs.



Those don't scratch the surface.

Might want to check out the 1950s and 1960s when the top tax rates were at least double what they are today.
