Kristen Crowell says progressives can't cede the tax debate to business groups and wonks if they wanted to grow the proverbial pie and achieve policy wins: "Tax policy is the single most effective way to deliver, in my opinion, the government that we want and that our families rely on."

Remember, when you pay taxes, it doesn't go to an account so congress can spend- it goes to zero out the bonds used to issue those dollars.
Thus, the question of who should pay taxes and how much is entirely about keeping the money supply finite and limiting the bounds of inequality
Taxes take dollars out of circulation, and who pays them matters in terms of whether wealth inequality and democracy are compatible
And Biden was dangerously close to letting people know the gov’t can work.

The constitution forbids taxing the rich. It took an amendment to tax income.
Until these tax the rich! folks start talking about a wealth tax amendment, they are just bullshitting us
