The US economy is driven by consumption. If the average person was asked to pay 30% or more additional for all purchases, IMO, consumption would be reduced or driven underground. I believe taxing consumption is the fairest method, but will never happen.
As I recall the Fair Tax was at about 23% but of course that was before about $26 trillion was added to the debt. You're right, it isn't likely, but it would be a better system than now.

Biden is yet again proposing a minimum tax on billionaires, this time raising it to 25%. But the real challenge will be to get it past Congress.
Biden is calling for a minimum tax rate of 25% on billionaires and a 39.6% capital gains tax in his proposal for the fiscal 2024 budget.

Proponents of the Trump tax cuts ignored CBO and GAO warnings that it would significantly increase the deficit. The Trumpsters and the MAGA's claimed that it would grow and modernize the US economy. Well, of the current 32 billion deficit 8 billion of it was added during the 4 Trump years.
And in the end we will still have to borrow more money just to repair the most critical infrastructure.
The deficit is the amount between what is taken in and what is spent. The national debt isn't the deficit. And the Trump tax cuts brought more revenue into the coffers, not less. It was a spending issue, not a funding issue.

Rich people bad.
Tax bad rich people more. Make them pay their fair share.
Give to poor. Poor people good. Make them lay on their asses. It's only fair.

What are you talking about, The prop0sed Trump budgets all contained deficit spending which in turn was rolled over year after year to the national debt. The GOP which is an all symbolism party promotes itself as responsible public guardians of the public coffers ignored credible projections from qualified sources that the tax cuts would in fact add to the national overall debt.
The only debt the GOP had was to the wealthy donors who bankrolled their campaigns and demanded a return on their investment.

Dems didn't cut a thing? Why not? They had total control and spent even more?

Will billionaires just roll over and take a 25 percent tax on their assets?

They are already paying MORE than their fair share.
71% of all federal spending is mandated by long standing finished rule of law. So just exactly where do you want to cut spending?

Can't change the law? Democrats are the only ones that can fix the spending problem. If Republicans do it, that is starving children and killing old folk.
