   I hope we agree that we need more taxes, it doesn't matter if they are taxes on billionaires, taxes on property, taxes on sales, taxes on crypto, or taxes on the poor. Without taxes we can't have a civilized society.

      this is the sadest assertion i've ever seen. if sucking the life out of people is the only way people can remain civilized then we are truely lost.

         How else are we going to support public infrastructure and society?

            More efficiency in spending? We have newer tools and equipment, technology, automation etc. Do more with less, that is called productivity.

               You don’t understand the natural order of things: productivity for you(the worker constantly told to do more), not for me(governments of all sizes, middle & execs, dumb owners).
