We have exactly that now. The rich get tax breaks for taxes that they don’t pay anyway. The average people have to pay through the nose. Look at senima, she has collected almost a billion from big pharma, that is the only reason she will not vote to allow shopping for cheaper drugs. That’s the government that we have.
Oh, really! When was the last time you stood in line for hours to buy food? The Russian standard of living, at it's height, was no better than the 1890s in the USA. The last time I had to wait in line for gasoline, for more than a few minutes, was when Jimmy Carter was screwing up the economy. I see it for us again in the near future, thanks to Biden.
And what is it with you and this "tax the rich" garbage? If someone is not paying what they are legally required to they go to jail. There are MANY rich people who have wound up in prison for violating economic laws. Wesley Snipes. Martha Stewart. Not to mention for other crimes. McAfee. Madoff. Bill Cosby. Weinstein. Epstein, etc. The rich are held accountable in the USA more than any other country in the world.
Somebody has sold you a bill of goods, that the rich are stealing from the poor, and you have bought into it hook, line, and sinker. There is no doubt that some....maybe even many, rich people abuse their authority. When they are caught, they are punished. You have never been able to credibly support ridiculous statements like the one you made above.
Here in the USA we have the richest poor class in the world. Virtually EVERYONE mentally fit has a cell phone. The vast majority of the "poor" live in a home with heat and AC, have a vehicle, have a flat screen TV with internet and cable, and get more than enough to eat. There are, of course, exceptions. Usually attributable to mental illness, alcohol or drug use, and how many of the 'poor' spend $200 a month or more on cigarettes?
Our system is not perfect, but it is gradually improving. Before you demand that the USA change a system that works so well for so many people, try offering something better. Try it out in DC, or California, or New York, and SHOW us that it works. That would convince a whole lot more of us than the incoherent repetitive babbling you insist on engaging in.
