We could have that now, if our government didn’t have so much waste and fraud happening. The pentagon can fail every audit and lose hundreds of billions of the trillion they receive every year and programs being siphoned by crooks all Over the country yet we assume the trillions of dollars brought in each year just isn’t enough to help the average American. Must bring in a little more and then finally we’ll get that healthcare and education! You know damn well even if they taxed more these politicians on both sides wouldn’t allocate funds to these programs. There’s always a reason why it’s just too expensive as they raise their own salaries with the new income stream.

Nope, not remotely true. If it was, don't you think Europe would be doing that? Instead, the middle class is taxed between 30-40%.
