Dude we are in record deficits get your head out of your ass. “Tax the rich” doesn’t work, the rich don’t have that much money to fund it all.

We need to tax the rich more but we can’t magically fund everything

Europe has a stagnant economy that is being outrun by 3rd world countries, in 20 years 3rd world countries will be ahead. They have no innovation, we don’t want to be Europe

We can’t tho. Even what we are doing now isn’t sustainable in the long term. The United States will collapse eventually and doing the European social programs will just cut the timeline in half

Yessssss trickle down economics will definitely work the NEXT time we try it out. It isn’t like the upper 10% is currently doing half of the spending in the country, or that the gap between cost of living and average wages has been increasing while ceo profits continue to rise

Honestly the money can be made if we can afford football stadiums and theme parks we can afford Free healthcare and an expansion on many of our social support programs.
