Taxing the rich does nothing until you can fix the government.

If only we had some way to find the funds we need to overhaul the government.. oh well. Guess we'll just die or something.

So we can tax the rich for the money right? And where does that money go? Oh ya, to the government, who does whatever they want with it, making themselves, their friends, and donors, richer. That'll definitely help us /s

You're just kind of making yourself look silly here. You know there's an annual budget thing that happens every year right? POTUS doesn't just get to sit on trillions of dollars la la la.

You're right, it doesn't go directly to them, but strangely enough, most federal level politicians get richer while in office.

Actually, you know what? Stay ignorant, and keep voting in the people who are looking to make themselves richer. It's worked so far, so why do anything different, right? I'm sure they'll get around to taxing the rich..... someday. /S

Stay ignorant

Says the guy championing tax cuts for the elite.

Have you heard of irony?

I'm not championing tax cuts for the elite, they should be taxed, I just think we need to fix the government first, or the taxes will be pointless.

And I disagree on that point.

I don't think disagreeing means one of us has to be ignorant. You disagree with that point.
