The problem is not that the government collects too little. It's that the government spends too much. https://reason.com/2026/03/12/tax-the-rich-all-you-want-it-wont-fix-the-deficit/ |

Deficit? That is only tangentially related. Tax the rich the most because the can afford to pay the most. Also, wealth should not grow so much that a few people are worth more than the bottom 2/3rds of the world. Tax them until the situation is drastically better. Then we can talk about maybe cutting down the amount. |

I guess it depends on what your goal is. Taxing the rich feeds the machine way more. Libertarians want to reduce the machine, if not kill it completely. |
