    I feel that my point is still made regardless though.

    Hm, well, the following point from your comment is currently conjecture, as you’ve provided no source for it:

    Harris’ tax plan cut taxes on every bracket except the richest, and we still ended up with more income than we started.

      My point being that taxes and the system in general are so messed up that we could acheive a lot of our other goals by rearranging the current tax mess into something less awful.

      We don’t have to start with ‘more taxes’ in order to accomplish a reasonably run welfare system.

        I’m inclined to agree, though there may certainly be facets that I haven’t considered.
