Raise taxes on the wealthy and stop giving ICE goons raises 

 

How wealthy is wealthy?  Raise it how much?

 

We have a $1.8 trillion deficit in 2025 according to the budget office.  We have 735 billionaires in the US.  Even if each one paid a billion in taxes we'd still be a trillion short.  

 

Sounds good, but how do you see this penciling out?

As we used to say, we have to pass it to find out what's in it.
