I have lied about nothing. You are the one who lied in your title. You seem young. I'm GenX and benefited from the economic growth, low housing costs, and low college tuition. I want that for future generations because the current economic realities are unsustainable. I'm not a boomer who says "I got mine, fuck yours", I'm saying I got mine and you should have yours too.
I have no idea why you're so passionate about this topic, but I've spent 25 years working in corporate America. I know they should pay more taxes but we would need other countries to close their loopholes too for any of the US changes to work. To quote Hamilton, I've spent many hours literally "in the room where it happened". We also need to close some of the loopholes for the ultra-wealthy. There have been measures such as AMT to try to make the tax system more fair, but we need to do more.
I'll continue to debate tonight if you're up for it, but I'm afraid I've posted too much personal info and will delete tomorrow. Cheers.
