I’m just saying that if you want to raise their taxes, you’re not on the side of the little guy, you’re on the side of the government—which tends to work itself into trouble. However, the rhetoric is that you’re on the side of the regular working people. That’s just not true in this case.

I’m sorry, but this is just delusional - how can you possibly deny the damage done by, say, exorbitant fossil fuel subsidies? Or tax exemptions for far-right, pollution-defending extremist groups like ALEC and Heartland? Current tax structures benefit groups who attack and abuse working people far more than they benefit groups who defend them, and that has to change.
