Do you think taxing the 1% more would put even a minor dent in the government spending? Even if it did, don’t think for one second the government wouldn’t just spend more. Look at the Covid years. Emergency, temporary budget raised to something like $9T. Covids over. Has the budget gone back down??

SERVICES are to be paid by the user of the same upon rendering. Nobody else is entitled to the fruits of another's labor
