It would take 10 years paying an additional 10% of your AGI income to reduce the national debt to more workable levels.
That might be like $20K to $40K per AVERAGE taxpayer over 10 years.
I am sure a soak the rich policy would be popular among Trump's angry white man voters ... Sort of paradoxical that a billionaire would advance such a policy ... Trump is not advancing this policy today. He is advancing a xenophobic and anti trade policy -- didn't Hoover do that too with
Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 and made the recession of 1929 become the Great Depression. Populists can set themselves up for a fall. My maternal Grandfather lost the family farm in the Great Depression -- ironic as the farmers wanted these tariffs and Hoover pandered to them just like Trump is pandering toward the 'angry white man' today with his anti-immigrant and anti-trade rhetoric.
