Or you can say,

We're going to progressively tax people.

If this economy delivered you billions, hundreds of billions, trillions, we're going to definitely take some of that back and we're going to use it for things that the electorate decides through their elected officials is what we want to spend money on.

And, you know, that's how democracy works.

So I don't like the idea of leaving it to the kindness of stranger trillionaires to make up the difference.

And look, you know, a lot of people have come after the charitable deduction as a way to raise more revenue.

And it never really seems to get anywhere.

You know, maybe for good reason.

I definitely remember trying to do so.
