Yes, but this isn't a good thing. The solution isn't to make the rich poor. It is to make sure everyone else can make more.

- tomkarlo 15y agoNobody's suggesting making the rich poor. Increasing taxes by 10 or 20% on someone making over 250K a year will cost them another $800 or so a month in taxes. To say that's making the rich "poor" is, frankly, offensive to people who actually are poor. It's great to say we should enact policy that makes everyone richer. But it's basically saying something everyone can be in favor of because it has no concrete meaning. Taxing the rich more so that everyone else can get better education and healthcare will make "everyone richer" in that it should raise per-capita GDP, but I don't think that's what you mean.
