The Democrats ran on "making the rich pay their fair share" and then created a bill paid for with debt. That is the reason I did not support it.
You want to tax the wealthy?

In the early 1970's we went from real infrastructure to human infrastructure. Corruption and stealing and playing games with ramped up.

By raising taxes and paying for them.
Value for the dollar seems to be massively distorted.

Do you mean Republicans would have voted for the Infrastructure Bill if it included a tax increase?

The problem is they often don’t pay consistent with what others pay.

The other big issue with your link is it compares their wealth with their income...they are totally different things. Income is taxed, not wealth....and as far as real estate, one that story doesn't include real estate taxes, but more over....anyone can buy real estate, and be taxed the same rate.
I do appreciate this line though: Overall, the average American household from 2006 to 2018 paid more in taxes than they accumulated wealth.
The issue there isn't the "rich" - it's the Govt tax codes. Clearly the Govt is taking way too much in that time frame.
