Why are we talking about lowering stimulus checks for the middle class and poor, but not increasing the tax rate for billionaires?

Same reason that when it's wage theft, employees cannot call law enforcement & must rely on underfunded bureaucracy to MAYBE investigate & correct, but if donors are involved, it might get buried. Employee theft is immediately addressed by cops. Cops serve the ruling class.

Because the top 1% income earners pay 37.3% of all the income tax, and the bottom 50% of income earners only pay 3% of the income tax. Everyone needs to have some skin in the game.

I bet you already know...because they’re low life scumbags! The politicians in this country are a national disgrace (w/ a few exceptions)!

What is the justification for having the rich pay more in taxes than the poor?
Those of us amplifying @SenWarren's 2 cent wealth tax are talking about it, especially now that she's on the Senate Finance Committee.
