Simple, because we keep making tax cuts for the rich, so someone has to fit the bill.

A lot of these problems wouldn't happen if we just had the 35% capital tax not lobbied down over the decades. Now we're going to 15.

how does that make sense. My claim is that the government is collecting more taxes than ever. 1,000% more than in 1940 (controlling for inflation). I ask why we are getting so little for that.

Your response is that we aren't taxing enough.
