Should taxes on the upper middle class be raised?

[All Along The Watchtower]

Let's be honest - the extensive welfare state that left-liberal Americans want for the country could not be paid for solely through tax increases on the "1 percent." Not even close.

Oddly enough, I actually do agree with the (ugh) "skin in the game" talking point of the Right, but only because people should have a real stake (financial and otherwise) in what the government does. Some of the worst, most dysfunctional governments have very low taxes on their population (see: Saudi Arabia - relying on revenues from exports of national resources generally isn't wise, even less so for a representative democracy). What incentive do people have to support such governments? Well, other than systemic political repression ofc.

Anyway, my answer should be obvious.

Yeah, lets screw over the guys already getting screwed over the most by taxes.  Did you guys run out of made up taxes to screw the poor and lower middle class over with?  Perhaps something on disposable diapers (ya know, to save the environment)?  You already tax the sh**t out of the only things they can legally enjoy (beer and smokes), why not soda too?



If you guys hate the poor, hate the middle class, love war and violence...what part of the left is left?  Ahhh, the dumbass switch to a focus on identity politics...of course.

que?
