The problem is not that the government collects too little. The problem is that the government spends too much.

    Don’t mind the downvotes on this community xD.

    Spot on regarding Medicare. Chasing revenue while ignoring the cost disease in healthcare and infrastructure is useless. If we don’t address the supply-side restrictions and artificial monopolies driving up those costs, no amount of taxing the rich will ever be enough to keep pace with the spending curve.

    Most people want to solve the problem without solving the actual root problem. That’ll only be a cat and mouse game with no ends.
