How do you feel about AOC's proposed 70% marginal tax rate?

If you go to a financial planner and tell him about how your financial life is a mess, the financial planner will not first ask you to double or triple your salary.

The first thing he will do is to ask you to identify your fixed/recurring costs (rent/insurance/basic groceries) and your variable costs (entertainment/fuel/utilities).

Then the financial planner will look to optimize your costs and then may tell you to ask for a raise.

Similarly America needs to identify its costs, reduce waste and then charge more money if required.

For example, America's non-discretionary (fixed) military spending is equal to its discretionary (variable) spending. This is an example of terrible budgeting.

If my boss asks me for my annual budget I can tell him it will be $10 million +10% more to cover unforeseen costs. The military is asking for $700 billion + 100% more to cover variable costs.

This is THEFT!!!
