Guys, we're $38T in the hole right now and rising, and the wealth gap and affordability crisis is getting worse and worse. We have large bills to pay, and only in fantasyland will our insolvency be solved solely be tightening our belts and not raising revenue (taxing the rich) as well.
We bailed out Wall Street. We bailed out Auto. We bailed out all small businesses and big business (CARES ACT). We bailed out the military industrial complex (Iraq, Afghanistan, etc). Lots of people got rich on the backs of US debt. Those that get rich off of our debt ought to pay some of that debt off too.
I always hate when people talk about the "wealth gap" as if it is some kind of driver of bad things for the average American.
Want to know the quickest, easiest, and best way to get rid of the "wealth gap"? Have another Great Depression.
The "wealth gap" will dramatically shrink. So problem solved, right? Those evil rich people don't have as much relative to the lower class!!! Since that's the real problem in your view of the economy.
