Problem is the rich will use loopholes (created by the government) to get out of said taxes, then the tax burden will falls upon us to foot the bill. (Giving the very government more control and power over us.) I swear socialist deserve the title of useful ID10TS.

Ok I suppose that's true, tax loopholes are a thing and taxing the rich doesn't become so easy. But I do have another question, back in the day there was high top marginal tax rates on the rich, when Richard Nixon was President, the top marginal tax rate was 70%. How come high taxes on the rich was feasible then but not now? Also which politicians created the tax loopholes in the first place?

It wasn’t feasible for that very reason. Wealthy taxpayers utilized passive real estate losses, oil depletion allowances, and complex tax shelters to drastically lower their taxable income. High nominal rates misallocated talent and capital into tax-shelter industries rather than productive business investments.

Close the loopholes, then.

That would mean a flat tax system, which would prevent the government from influencing how and where we spend and save our money.

This is how they try to make a "socialist" politician look bad. I mean, this literally looks like a campaign ad promoting her.

these bullet points are meant to give dumb people points to shout about. Medicare is already available for elderly or disabled people, public kindergarten and K-12 is taxpayer funded childcare, full-time employees already have paid Family and Sick Leave, it's called FMLA or short-term / long-term disability (which covers post-labor recovery for both parents), there's already a universal job program at local libraries and using the internet, the rich are already taxed and the top 1% pays for 70% of the entire U.S. tax revenue.

The government has no authority to freeze rent, which means freezing rent market prices. The government is also mandated to protect our nation's borders, which is what the Immigration and Customs Enforcement does.

So that's how you react to someone who has a political opinion you disagree? You get angry and insult people and call them a "toddler" and you feel like screaming at them like deranged lunatic and getting violent. You really don't sound any better than antifa leftists who act the same way at anyone who doesn't believe there are 1000+ genders.

Who is throwing a tantrum here? It certainly isn't me.
