Very few people make a lot of money, it those who do make a shockingly large amount of it. There’s two drivers to the actual problem here… one is that wage growth slowed a lot since wage indexing and the yield on those taxes is lower in real terms. People who are making more make a lot more, and frankly that’s a well that needs to be tapped. The other is less popular… but we’re in wind down of nearly 25 years of conflict. The events of 9/11 were engineered to and succeeded in created the same type of economic attrition the US ultimately inflicted on the Soviets. We’re at a tipping point… our social insurance is approaching entirely avoidable cash flow insolvency. 25 years of war means that the military is worn out and needs trillions of investment to maintain parity. Ignoring the problems our strategies created brought us with a reactionary buffoon destroying the government and a fairly dim decade ahead.
