That's exactly what we have just done in Canada and it allowed the government to actually give the middle class a tax break. I predict things like this will continue to happen until things get more into balance. Even Donald Trump wants to do something similar to this. I'm guessing neither of you guys make over $300,000.
LOL- no. My wife and I together don't make $300K.
$300K is the top 1% of single wage earners and the top 3% of households.
That's not a lot of people to tax.
There's a HUGE group of people not paying ANY federal tax though:

77,000,000 not paying a fricking dime.
What if we charged them all $100 to live here? You think $8/mo is their "fair share" instead of trying to bleed the really successful few for $1000s more a piece?
That would be $7,700,000,000. (almost $8b) to buy guys like Apoppin and dope dealers some healthcare.
If the poor want free health care for guys like Apoppin starting businesses, or dope dealers in illegal businesses, maybe they should pay the bill instead suggesting others pay it.
