Best I can do is cut taxes and regulations for companies and billionaires as they are job creators. Your taxes are going to have to continue at the same rate.

But from a macro-econ perspective, I do question why we're paying private businesses to do government work and then taxing them on what we paid them. Seems like we could just insource the work to government agencies and save everyone a bureaucratic headache. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 1 point 6 months ago I also think raising taxes on people who aren't me is a great idea.
