Personally I think all people pay to little in taxes. We need to have a broad base tax increase and then targeted means tested programs to help those who can’t afford it.
The other issues stem around
Social mobility
Housing affordability
Generational Wealth
So working on equalizing the starting points and access.
But overall the rich is the reason we can’t afford social programs and housing isn’t true. As a country we have never paid less in tax regardless of bracket and the wealth of housing starts at the 50 percentile not the 1%.
We could solve the 1% inequality issues and bring them down to the 99% and solve almost no problems.
