I just want billionaires and churches to pay their fair share and end citizens united. That's a great start
People who are complaining real life lacks money sinks need to be taxed more, not less as they still have endless amount of money no matter if they pay 1% tax or 30% tax. Religion is a glorified hobby, it should not be except from tax.
I have no interest in stealing what someone has earned one way or another rather them not paying for their upkeep in a proportional way. Someone who makes 1000 a month losing 30% of that income hurts a lot when rent is 500. Someone who makes 10,000,000 a month, losing 3 mil doesnt hurt when most of that money should be free capital anyway that can easily be used to generate more income.
Governments should find a way to make a cost of living adjustment.
