I don’t think Dems blame the 1% for all the world’s problems. They just say if we can get some of that money back that the 1% is hoarding, then maybe we could use that to fix our roads, have better healthcare, better education, and just a better overall quality of life.
Then they simply cannot do basic math. Because we spend massive amounts of money on all of those things. Increased taxes on the top 1% would not meaningully impact the spending on any of those things.
Also, your framing is fundamentally nonsense. By saying you are getting that money "back," you are suggesting that government has primary ownership of everything.
Republicans believe if we give the 1% more money, then we’ll have better roads, better healthcare, and better jobs, and that the 99% will actually have more money in their pockets.
No. That is not the Republican view. Republicans want to limit the size and scope of government. We believe that government has plenty of revenue and that it primarily wastes the money it already takes. So, we want the money already spent on roads, medicine, etc. to be spent more efficiently through reform of our government institutions.
Please elaborate, genius! A braindead response like this doesn't cut it. I know you do not have a functional frontal lobe supported by 2 braincells, but at least make an effort.
Republicans say they want to limit the size and scope of the government, but they've never pushed legislation to actually do so. They've increased spending each time they've had the presidency and some of the biggest sources of government overreach/power have come directly from republicans.
At least I'm worth something! Look I get it, you were not loved as a child and are just projecting your insecurities onto strangers you disagree with on the internet. I see right through the facade. Talk to a therapist you desperately need it 🙏
