... therefore, they should pay more taxes to help fund important things like free community college tuition to help raise low income people out of poverty and into the middle class.

Closing this tax loophole on assets when people die has existed for over 90 years and is wildly abused by the super rich.

Your response is let the rich and their children to continue to keep getting richer by hiding the transfer of wealth from one generation to another.

Very few people get super rich but 10,000s would benefit from free community college. So many families would benefit from free daycare.

Even yourself would benefit from a tax cut unless you enjoy subsidizing the super rich which you are very unlikely to ever become.

The word "free" is a very scary word. It basically translates to paid for by someone else. When you are that someone else "free" is not "free" anymore.

You took the words out of my mouth. It's obvious that SSG has lived off the government dime for most of his adult life. From what I gather, he has no interest in becoming successful and/or rich.

Since you made this idiotic statement, please back it up with an explanation.

I'm shocked that a Canadian is upset of being accused of living off the government dime. Y'all usually wear it as a badge of honor. You like that "free" shit, right?

Namely. the super rich and corporations that are "tax dodgers" plus an increase in the corporate tax rate from a historically, super low 21% to a 25-28% rate.

These proposals are extremely popular amongst middle class voters.

Damn! You are such a disappointment. I was waiting for your grand explanation and all I got was your usual right wing talking points. Are there ANY original thoughts in your head at all? Or, more likely, you simply repeat everything you are told to.

I thought the "rich" people were supposed to pay for most of the cost for you mere peasants. No?
