The top 1 % pay 40% of the taxes

40% of wage earners pay no taxes at all

Our corporate taxes are the highest in the world

Raising taxes usually decreases tax revenue

Raising taxes in the current environment would be financial suicide

Other than that brilliant idea. Your boy Barry has even admitted it would be a bad idea but that he'd go ahead and do it anyway despite the fact that it would hurt the economy because it would be the " fair " thing to do
