This has NOTHING to do with taxes. The fact is - those in power in the US "JUST DON'T CARE" about ordinary citizens. Yes - it's a difficult TRUTH to swallow - but it is the REALITY.

The US could (with or without any tax dollars) spend/infuse enough money into fixing the health care system, educational system, housing, etc. starting TOMORROW (if it wanted to). But if it does "give the people what they want", WHO will do the dirty/necessary work that needs to be done to support "those in power"?

NOT spending/fixing the health care system, housing, education, poverty, food insecurity, etc. is a CONSCIOUS and VOLUNTARY choice (by those in POWER). It has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with TAXES! Taxes are an EXCUSE used by them WHEN they want to avoid fixing the problems that need fixing!
