A challenge for the "Tax the rich more" crowd.

Since I have thoroughly answered your question, please answer mine: If not tax increases, what is your solution to our crushing federal debt.
Even though you didn’t answer, I will answer yours.

Only allow the Feds to spend money on the very few things specifically allowed in the Constitution.

Great idea in theory. But no politician in Washington has the balls to suggest that, much less author an actual spending bill like that and take the heat for the cuts.. The wealthy would be the first ones to make sure that policy can never be implemented and to get rid of the Kamakaze lawmakers who suggest it. Since the rich won't allow spending cuts, they can pay more of the freight for the extra-constitutional spending.

You only say that because you have no intelligent response to my answers.

You misunderstand the purpose of starting a thread.
I asked for numbers, not “more”.


How much? Give is some numbers:

The top 1% should pay _____% of the total income taxes.

The top 10% should pay _____% of the total income taxes.

The top 50 should pay _____% of the total income taxes.

You didn’t ask for something the idiots in DC would approve of, Short Bus.

You asked how I would do it.
 
Name calling.

Cute.

Are you in third grade or did they finally promote you to 4th.

How does your plan of never raising taxes on the wealthy pay down the debt?
I already explained how I would pay down the debt.

Still waiting on your answer, Simp.
 
Just reverse the Trump, Bush and Reagan tax cuts. Problem solved.

Clinton and the Dems controlled the House and Senate after he was elected, why didn't he?
Obama and the Dems controlled the House and Senate after he was elected, why didn't he?
Biden and the Dems controlled the House and Senate after he was elected, why didn't he?
 
This is wrong in spades. You need to reverse the Republican tax cuts for the wealthy, starting with the Reagan tax cuts which destabilized the markets leading to the 1987 stock market crash.

Then the Bush 43 tax cuts which helped destabilize the markets leading to the 2008 economic crash.

Last but not least, reverse both of the Trump tax cuts which are doubling your deficit.

Add up all of the tax cuts passed by Republican Presidents, and their effect on the deficit and your national debt will be non-existent.

Problem solved, without cutting a dime in spending.

The Dow was about 950 when Reagan took office.
After the 1987 crash it dropped to 1738.
When Reagan left office, it was about 2235.

Is that your evidence his across-the-board tax cuts were bad?
