Can you explain what you are advocating?

It's not clear to me what connection you are making between America's GDP and wanting the wealthy to do more. The wealthy capture the largest portion of the GDP, so America's high GDP would seem to support the idea that the wealthy can do more.

It seems like you are criticizing tax rates but then you talk about how much can be done with the money that makes up the national debt. Are you advocating more or less government spending? Are you advocating more or less taxes?

No, if you can’t figure it out then you deserve the world that you get. Saying rich people should solve the problems is the lazy answer.

US consumer spending is 70% of GDP.

You are not obligated to explain yourself, but you also don't get to complain when nobody knows what you're talking about.
Saying "you're stupid and don't deserve an answer" is childish and trite. Be better
