Hello Kacper,
Taxing the rich more will generate more revenue. Same income, higher tax, more revenue. The government needs more revenue. Revenue is insufficient to meet expenditures. The entire deficit is added onto the debt each year.
We've got a big country, getting bigger all the time. More people, more spending, bigger economy. Our government must grow to keep up with that. And consider; our government has grown constantly throughout our history. As our government has grown, so has our economy. Everything we have now, our whole country, our giant government that tries to be everything to everyone, all our people, everything we've built; all of it, it all happened as we let government grow to the size it is today. Big government has not hurt us. I honestly don't know what the problem is for the right. My taxes are about as low as I can remember. So are everybody's. The rich have had their taxes cut to a THIRD of what they once were. We've got it good.
We've got it good and part of the problem is we have it a little too good. We have not paid in as much as we have spent. We are short. So we need to cover that. We have to pay for yesterday's bills. We can't blow this off. It's our collective debt. We, the people, are responsible for that debt. It's all ours. Nobody else's.
The only possible time we can begin to pay that down is when our economy is doing well. We certainly can't do it during a recession.
The trust that the world has in the United States, our 'credit,' is on the line. And this is important, because world approval of the USA has been falling. We have to pay down our debt. We have to make good on our word.
Hello.
Does any of this make any sense.
Now is the time to tax the rich more, and now is the time for them to pay for the great country which has favored them so well.
Uncle Sam is proud to be the economic playground of our most advantaged citizens. But Uncle Sam needs a little help. Surely these fine people can do what it takes. Really, they are the only ones who could afford to do it without crashing the economy. And we need the economy to pay for what we've spent. So it's got to be the rich. We've got to tax the rich more. Just simple logic. Sorry, rich people. We know it won't hurt you that much. We know you have so much money that your lifestyle will not be affected the least by the required level of taxation. And just think of the awesome sense of accomplishment of being part of the wise ones who gave what they could for their nation, if not their lives, some of their money. (We know some people think the money is more important.)
The math works. We can tax the rich enough to begin paying down the debt.
We could all pay a little bit more tax. But the rich need to haul the heaviest part of the load. It's the only way to shore up world trust in the USA, something it sorely needs about now.
Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.
Again, I ask you. When did increasing taxes ever help anyone? I can give plenty of examples where tax CUTS have helped the economy. Even one of your Democrat hero's did it. Can you guess who? And it resulted in a booming ecconomy and increased revenue for the government.

NOW THAT'S A REAL INTELLIGENT QUESTION , IT FED THEM AND THEIR FAMILY AND KEPT A ROOF OVER THEIR HEADS , IT HELP PAY FOR EMERGENCY'S AND ILLNESSES AND JUST BAD TIMES THAT COMES TO EVERYONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE A BOAT LOAD OF MONEY.YOUR RIDICULOUS. JUST AS A SAFETY NET IS SUPPOSE TO DO.
Lets make business pay a livable wage in this country , then I don't have to help a family that has two parents working full time and still not have enough to feed their family and to keep a roof over their heads. We could start there and that would take care of more then half the problem. We just have to squeeze more grease out of the fat in this country.
So you should be the decider of what is fair snowflake? This is why the liberal ideology is a massive failure; it begins with this notion that the economic pie is somehow finite and requires political apparatchiks to be the deciders of what is good and fair.
This has failed massively in the Soviet Union, in China, in Cuba and currently in Venezuela. You liberal morons need to find a way to extract your collective heads from your asses and get educated.

1) The democrats have shown no qualms about wanting to spend significantly more money than we already are on new programs like free college for everybody and universal healthcare. The suggestion by you that they want to raise taxes to reduce debt is not supported by a single thing. They want that money to buy votes and make people more dependent on them. If they were worried about debt, they would support Trump's tariffs as they broaden the tax base.
2) Governments do not operate like household budgets. There is no indication that the US government has any trouble moving treasuries even at lower than current interest rates. There have been multiple articles and studies published should you so desire to explore them that explore multiple variations of this theme. In addition, debt is how the US expands the money supply. Without it, the dollar becomes destabilized which would then tidal wave throughout the global economy. Government debt is a good thing.
It's nice to see how our resident JPP liberals are still hoping for a socialist government and country.
SEDITION: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.
Since the average worker already pays approximately 50% of hs salary in local, county, State, Federal, property, gas, etc. taxes, and your gawds pay 0% to 16%.
So, the question is why do you have such low esteem, and hate the average worker so greatly, that you feel you need to spend your life on your knees before the altar to your gawd?
"2Timothy 3 "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away"
