1. 5% seems pretty low...

I much prefer the numbers I see floating around saying anything over $X is tax—as in the oligarchs should fund everything for the rest of us. You’d think they’d pay happily if the alternative is that we eat them.

2. Minimum mandatory income tax.

Plus remove all caps from SS tax. That’d be about another 24%.

3. We need to go back to the taxation policies of the Eisenhower administration

Though the way that the felon-in-chief is spending/grifting taxation dollars, that may not even be enough...
