Most extremely wealthy people’s wealth is tied up in assets and not necessarily income, so this is actually more equitable. Generally speaking, higher taxes are a good thing, namely on large corporations and high income earners. Maybe they should simply turn over all their income to the State ....??? No sense in allowing successful people to control their own funds .... like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still.

If I'm paying more taxes, I expect that money to go towards some sh*t that'll benefit me and/or other regular people. Fix the roads, pay our medical bills, educate the kids and young adults, stuff like that. I think the theory a lot of people have too is that paying more in taxes should lower your cost of living. Idk how that works out in California The taxes are meant to be distributed to the public sector thru 'services' and roads ect... correct... No question about that... It's the fact that middle and lower income brackets 'pay' the wealth tax thru higher rent and higher price for essential good ... like fuel and food and clothing and transportations... 'Rich' corporations provide said service as their business and simply pass on the 'tax' in their pricing ... A simple fact that seems to be overlooked ... I don't see any 'better' government services in high tax states either ... like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still.

Higher payroll taxes do, but marginal tax rates don’t. Did you know the 1950’s had a top marginal tax rate of 91%? Very few paid that much, but that shocked me. Modern Americans HATE high taxes. The 1950’s also had 20 tax brackets, whereas now we only have 7. Not true ... property taxes directly result in higher rents for 'everyone' who rents. Retail rent gets paid for by 'higher' prices for 'everyone' The tax rates of the 1950's are completely irrelevant to current economic conditions. like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still.

Conservatives love to complain about higher taxes but take the labor force they benefit from for granted. You can’t have one without the other.
