[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The solution is easy. Just let every American have the same plan members of Congress have.

problem solved.[/quote]
Or just do what other countries have been doing. I suppose it might mean higher taxes for the wealthy though...[/quote]And higher taxes for the middle class.[/quote]

No. We don’t need more taxes on w2 earners. W2 earners pay more than their fair share. The ultra-wealthy need to pay taxes. Did you see the article in the NYT today about the loophole that allows people like Scott Bessent to avoid Medicare taxes? Let’s get rid of those loopholes. Billionaires need to pay taxes. That’s what we the people need to demand that “higher taxes” means[/quote]

Looking at taxes in Europe, the middle class pays much higher taxes than here.  People seem to think everything is paid for by taxing the rich.[/quote]

and the wealthy pay even higher taxes but also in europe- they discourage the building of wealth.  the French have draconian inheritance tax laws, the swedes, germans, swiss (who are the most wealth friendly) have 50 year mortgages, free schooling, free healthcare, equal 4th & 3rd pillar pension for everyone.  if you are smart & able you'll save up your cash and buy property outright to pass it on to your kids but its very much a cradle to grave nanny state and its HARD to build wealth in any of the EU states.
