So perhaps it is time to tax the rich, to tax companies making money in using tax payed infrastructures.
I am in no way saying that there shouldnt be tax hikes for the wealthy. I absolutely think they should be paying more. In 2012 Romney said that he was paying something like 12% in taxes, was it? Last year I paid a full 15% and I was in the lower end of the tax bracket. And that was after the tax return.

Im just really wary when politicians give such easy answers to big problems. Like how people are saying that overturning the Citizens United decision would solve the problems with elections, but there was dark money and corruption before the decision as well. Its going to take a lot more than just overturning that Supreme Court decision to really change things.
