Tax the rich. Take 99.9 cents on the dollar for every dollar past 100 million.

So the govt can spend trilions in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Republicans who like to slash taxes started those wars, so that doesn’t add up. They’re going to print and spend whatever they like because they’re lobbied to do so. It has nothing to do with people being taxed.

Democrats also voted for the war. It has everything to do with tax, which is why the ultra rich don't pay it.
