I wonder if people who use the “MY TAXES!” argument/excuse for why things shouldn’t change realize that the tax rates in America have been significantly higher before, and often were in times of economic growth, being at times as high as 94% for the wealthiest in the country, but still manageable for the working class. I wonder if they realize that the only reason that America currently has such low tax rates is because of the Reagan era tax cuts implemented to stimulate the Reagonomic economic model that has done a fair bit to hurt the economy as a whole.
