Letter to the Editor: Time to return to progressive tax rates

(Letter to the Editor - Photo Illustration - MetroCreativeConnection)

Donald Trump spent a lot of time watching television during his time as president. He did manage to pull off two big things, though. The first was that he stole children from thousands of desperate asylum seeking families who had made their way to the southern border. The second was he gave massive tax cuts to the very rich; thus sending the national debt spiraling.

The very rich don’t earn that much money. They take it because they can. The system is set up that way. Most of them don’t work as hard as a single mom making minimum wage. We need to go back to the progressive tax rates of before Reagan, when most of that money was plowed back into the economy instead of hoarded in off-shore banks. The rich will still have plenty and all of us will be better off.

Trump has promised to renew the tax cuts for the very rich. Kamala Harris will not.
