Well, if it's specifically about taxing the poor - we could levy a higher tax on the ultra-rich and earmark how that funding is used. FWIW I actually think you make a good point, but it's ignoring the fact that the ultra-rich are grossly (I'd argue an order of magnitude) undertaxed right now.

> ultra-rich are grossly (I'd argue an order of magnitude) undertaxed right now Couldn't agree more on that point. I don't however think earmarking 1.7T for a very select 12% of Americans that have a far higher than average earning potential fixes the problem with the policy though. That 1.7T could be used in far broader more equal ways.
