Prettier pictures?
The US spends $750b a year on their military and a tonne of those costs are from ridiculous spending and fraud like the famous failed army uniforms($5b) or the $100b spent for failed reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan,so take it from them.
Or how about actually taxing people like Musk and Bezos more than 1% who seem to think because their employee's pay normal tax rates they don't have to.
Or how about raising money by taxing the churches, temples, mosques and their uber rich pastors, swamis and iman's ? Ending the free rides religions get could end starvation and homelessness around the world.
I could come up with 100's of things to save money and help the poor than taking it from science.
