Voting to take more of someone else's money or to put more in your pocket is not the America I want to live in. Tax code now creates so much division. I don't want to live with subsidies, tax loopholes, etc., either. That's just me tho.
Do you understand what a marginal tax is? It's not 70% of your income. It's 70% of your income after you reach the 10 million threshold in a single year, and even then that first 10 million isn't touched at 70%. It's also a big reason why America prospered after WW2.
