Perhaps 10%. Taxes at one point went up to 90%. Some companies do need more, especially small businesses. As for not needing to subsidize anyone, when the pandemic struck and the checks went out a lot of people paid bills (I managed to get rid of my student loan debt, with help) but many went on spending sprees and some of those still couldn't pay rent. Wealth distribution isn't as great as it sounds and I'm on SSDI.

"when the pandemic struck"... The pandemic that was caused by poor people hunting wild animals to sell their meat to make a living? Gosh darn, I wonder what we could have done to make it so these people wouldn't have to resort to that to make a living... Oh well 🤷

Nothing. That happened in another country. Also, hunting wild animals to sell the meat has been a thing for millennia.

Oh and you think wealth inequality is an issue that only affects the USA?

What the poor people were doing happened in another country and therefore there was nothing that we could have done to change their way of life. We can't dictate to China how they treat their citizens.
