So exactly what percentage would you raise taxes on people that pay no taxes?
Liberalism is a mental illness, add a shekel grabbing jew to the mix and you have Bloomberg.

Whatever percentage it takes to institute a debtors prison. How else are you going to round up poor people to ensure they get the proper medical care they need to live longer?

It is time normies understand the difference between wealth and income. The wealthy, billionaires, don't have income. They have wealth. They don't MAKE income. Their wealth increases. They don't pay income tax, they (sometimes) pay capital gains tax.
And of course their affairs are structured like this on purpose.
It doesn't matter WHAT level you tax income at! The WEALTHY are not going to be paying shit.
