Because some of them wouldn't be rich otherwise:"With the money that these tax cheats owe"
How do you know they owe anything?
Trends in the Internal Revenue Service’s Funding and Enforcement | Congressional Budget Office
"The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) collected $3.5 trillion in taxes in 2018, nearly 95 percent of total federal revenues.
"To do so, it relied largely on taxpayers to report their income, calculate the amount of tax they owed, and remit that amount to the IRS through withholding or other payments. However, some taxpayers have failed to pay hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes, the IRS estimates.
"Policymakers have expressed interest in how changes in IRS funding, particularly for enforcement of tax laws, could increase the federal government’s tax revenues."
I never said the lack of a Greek sovereign currency was the only reason for the Crisis...you did.If you are telling me that the only reason for the Greek crash was the lack of a Sovereign currency, then why didn't all those others have similar crashes?

Rich Greeks didn't pay their taxes, and rich Americans at Goldman Sachs doubled the Greek deficit; sound familiar?
How Goldman Sachs Profited From the Greek Debt Crisis
"The investment bank made millions by helping to hide the true extent of the debt, and in the process almost doubled it."
Except your right to form a union:You earn the wage you work for. If you agree to work for whatever money, and I pay you the agreed wage.... no one is taking anything from you
Union membership in the U.S. hit record low in 2018
My post confirmed your ignorance again:We have a child obesity problem. Child hunger is a joke.
All your post did, was prove what an idiot Sanders is.
6 startling facts about child hunger in the U.S. -- and how you can help
"According to Feeding America, 1 in 7 people in the U.S. face hunger every year. The rates of hunger in children are even higher, with about 1 in 5 lacking proper access to food at some point during the year."

Which "far left" government has ever used violence to accomplish its "exceptionalism" to the extent as the USA? Perhaps you can provide us with an example of a "far left" state that used chattel slavery and genocide to lay the economic foundation for its MAGA wealth? Which "far left" government has murdered, maimed, and displaced MILLIONS of innocent civilians on the opposite side of the planet since 1945? When right wing trolls WHINE about violence, I'm always inclined to believe they are as ignorant asExcept that left-wingers have always used violence. Which far left government has never used violence? All have. All. And they have to. You can't take people's stuff, without using force.

Go back to enumerated powers.......derpAnyone who opposes free public education is close to having a learning disability.
Want to get a hold of debt and deficit? Go after DOD and perpetual warfare.
Free education means more low-income students reach graduation. Trillion$ of student debt will no longer serve as a burden on graduates and overall consumption. More people would go to college and pick majors they prefer. More educated people means society can solve problems better. A better educated electorate wouldn't be as likely to vote for senile geezers like Trump or Biden. What's not to like?Moreover, why would I want to provide free schooling to people? I had to work for my schooling. Why should other people get schooling for free?
Milton was wrong.Only Capitalism, which is right-wing, believes in freedom. The people are free, to use for whatever purpose they wish, their own property.

Capitalism doesn't produce freedom.
Capitalism produces autocratic workplaces and billionaire tyrants.
Depending on how you view "positive" vs "negative" freedoms, capitalism does not provide individuals access to a fair share of the production of goods and it fosters a huge buildup of private power by concentrating wealth and entrenching corporate control over markets(not to mention destroying the environment and the freedom of future generations)

The key phrase is "their money."This by the way, is evidence in your post above, where you talked about people not paying enough taxes. As if, their money was "owed" to you. You view the money they rightfully earned, as yours. That's is proof of a slave-mentality view of the public. They exist for the benefit of the state, in left-wing ideology.
An income of $1 million some of which comes from investments.You mean spending. Giving half of my money to charity is not "investing". You don't get a "Return on Investment" from donating money to charity.
And you have some bad math. That's $16,000 a month, not $25K.
Profit comes from surplus, and there was no surplus prior to the formation of the first cities.Charity existed before profit? You are crazy. Profit existed the moment the first man, traded the first lamb for the first vegetable.
For 90% of human history individuals who attempted a private surplus were banned? You are crazy. Not true.
Luxury goods are goods whose demand increases more than proportionally as income rises. Necessity good have demand which increases proportionally less than income. All your examples are necessities not luxuries in this country.If you own a car, you own a luxury good. If you have air conditioning, you own a luxury good. If you have internet, you have a luxury good. If you have a cell phone, you have a luxury good.
Where do you place yourself on this diagram?As modern day classical liberals we are often called Libertarians. The right wing supports minimum government at every turn & MAXIMUM wealth for the individual. As one can plainly see the right wing is hardly a left wing fascist/communal command system in any way shape or form. In reality the RepubliCratic duopoly party(RCDP) is a LOT closer to a statist left command & control ideology.
