The rich pay 80% of the federal income tax. Not sure how much more the left will demand. At some point the rich are going to go "Galt" on your ass, then you will have no tax base.

Come on, Peter. People like this demand nothing less than everyone bending over and saying, "Thank you, Sir, may I please have some more." If you stand up, they can't stand it.

No reason to soak, Mr. richy, just remove the cap on the SS tax.

And if we’re going to fix our nation’s healthcare system including Medicare – we have to get rid of the for-profit motive.
As soon as we finally realize we’re all in this together, and everyone is contributing to everyone’s healthcare, it will change for the better. Time to push for Medicare part E – Medicare for All.

The for profit motive creates innovation and advances in tech. If we go to a single payer system you will see the US health care system stagnate.

So you think retired seniors have enough to pay for all that "innovation and advances"?

They don't have to. The new advances will be paid for by the wealthy.
