Blame that demon Ronald Reagan for that bullshyt. It’s ironic when America was most prosperous it was when taxes were high in the rich from FDR until Nixon. It’s simple math. You tax the rich government gets more revenue to invest things that matter for the country(infrastructure, healthcare, education, jobs, etc). When you don’t you have deficits and that leads to high debt. If Republicans truly cared about the debt and deficit they would be for tax cuts to the rich and defense spending cuts. The Republican Party wants to turn America to the USSR where domestically the economy and infrastructure is trash and declining while pulling trillions on a massive military industrial complex to maintain empire.
Yeah, and everyday people eat that up.
People think that they can be billionaires and treat poor people like shyt. Wanting to aspire to some irrational standard of flaunting wealth, instead of going back to the FDR standard and building up America properly.
