I wish he had that foresight when he suggested that the government should let the economy crater and provide 0 assistance to anyone.
Better late than never, I guess.

The one good thing about Trump is if the country survives these 3 more years relatively intact he might have inadvertently promoted progressive policies better than any progressive could have done.It’s literally the only thing that could solve a lot of Americas issues at once though

im all for taxing the rich more, but they need to cut spending tooIt’s literally the only thing that could solve a lot of Americas issues at once though
you can do the math. the government could take every dime from jeff bezos, and the bottom 50% of the country gets a one time 1600 dollar check
then bezos is broke. what do we do next month

i wonder how much of his own money he is willing to donate... my guess is $0.... romney is not making a serious suggestion....
He doesn't need to donate money if he is taxed though...

It’s all correlated. You have to spend when the money isn’t available or backed by anything. It’s what keeps the nation and world economy functioning, fake money. Not spending would send us back to the Stone Age lol.im all for taxing the rich more, but they need to cut spending too

If we taxed the people hoarding all the money, we’d print less and everything would start at least maybe falling into place. But the genie been out the bottle

you took the word "donate" so literally... he is not going to support any legislation that will raise HIS taxes....
THE GOVERNMENT ISN'T PREPARED TO HANDLE WHAT A TAX INCREASE ON THE RICH WOULD LOOK LIKE. IT WOULD BE NUCLEAR FALLOUT ON THE GOVERNMENT. THEY NEED TO BE 100% PREPARED TO STEP IN AND REPLACE EVERY CHARITY AND COLLEGE FUND AFTERWARDS.

he's just saying close certain loopholes and we also need to take in spending.
All his points are fair.
Just raising taxes on rich people wont do anything for the debt because its too much and they are already paying the most.

I’m not sure about this. America has well over 500 billionaires alone
That’s extremely unsustainable. They’d have to deal with being taxed. They won’t leave, they can’t
