Taxing the rich 1.wont happen and 2. wont solve it.

Taxes are for the middle class to keep them working. They are not there to pay for stuff that we all use and share.

If they were there to pay for stuff that we share they would be voluntary to pay based on wether or not you want to participate in the shared thing.

Taxes are not optional, for the middle class, not even in the "I'm going to live by myself in the woods kind of way".

Taxes don't exist for the wealthy.

This is by design, it will not change, do not believe politicians who say that they will.

(For the US, Idk about other countries)

Claiming that increased taxation leads to increased work directly contradicts several findings in the field of economics.

Care for a link? I don't see how taking money from people could possibly make them work less.

I thought this was a pretty good discussion about this: https://politics.stackexchange.com/questions/38132/why-is-it...

Yeah I get what they are saying, but if anything that supports my argument. Wealthy people might work less when taxes go up, but middle class people have to work more. Poor people might work less because of benefits, but overall the people who are working are working harder to support the shenanigans of everyone else.
