Trump submitted the largest budget in history BEFORE Covid hit. He doubled the deficit BEFORE Covid hit. And he did it with the help of the GOP Congress.Until Covid Hit and Trump was more than happy to throw about 3 trillion dollars in deficit spending at it.
Except we had the most deaths on the planet. All thanks to Dear Leader and his hypo of bleach.Then it was the wrong approach the world over.
This is exactly correct and what I have been saying for years.It's been my experience that when one group is enjoying much greater benefits than others around them, it isn't due to any brilliance or good luck, but because the wealthy group is taking unfair advantage of the others by gaming the system.

75% of the top 20 richest people in America support the Democratic party. Even George Soros, a stock market financier, was listed as being a Democrat. In fact, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Larry Ellison (the top 3 wealthiest on the list), and the two Google principals were all associated with the Democratic Party.
And since democrats are all about helping the poor folk, I really believe that we need to tax the poo out of them.
- The 10 poorest states in the US according to average income levels (Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, West Virginia, Louisiana, Montana, South Carolina, Kentucky, Alabama, and North Carolina) by majority, vote and are represented in Congress by Republicans.

This is a textbook argument from ignorance. The burden of proof is on you, the claimant.I can, if I wanted to actually hunt for the link to it. Obviously, you're too fucking lazy to go find it for yourself or you really don't want to see it, plus I don't know you from shit, you just joined here so, go do it yourself if you want to see it, its not like I care whether you believe me or not.
So you start by saying the US has a progressive tax system, only then to explain why we don'tWe already have a progressive tax system. The problem is there have been carve-outs, loopholes, and whathaveyou, put into the tax code which benefit the wealthy.
Then you have subsidies which also give them an advantage.
Entities earning identical incomes should be paying identical taxes. But that is not the way it is.
