So we’re sol? Government’s aren’t going to start properly taxing the wealthy.

I just wish to remind everyone that there is a lot more of us than there is of them.

But who's "us", and who is "them"? Could it be a matter of perspective? Would it surprise you to discover that you're someone else's "them"?

Taxing the rich 1.wont happen and 2. wont solve it.

Taxes are for the middle class to keep them working. They are not there to pay for stuff that we all use and share.

If they were there to pay for stuff that we share they would be voluntary to pay based on wether or not you want to participate in the shared thing.

Taxes are not optional, for the middle class, not even in the "I'm going to live by myself in the woods kind of way".

Taxes don't exist for the wealthy.

This is by design, it will not change, do not believe politicians who say that they will.

(For the US, Idk about other countries)

Claiming that increased taxation leads to increased work directly contradicts several findings in the field of economics.

According to the estimates, it's only a risk within the next 10 years.

Apparently more data needs to come in before there's no longer any risk, but a certainty within a reasonably understandable timeframe instead.
