I support large tax increases, but only insofar as there's a 32 trillion dollar debt and the government needs to be massively shrunk and revenue increased because there's a strong moral argument to be made against leaving future generations with debt we don't intend to pay back.
So it would be a 3-step process:
1. Increase taxes and cut government spending by like 90%
2. Pay off the national debt in about 10 years as a generational project
3. Eliminate the income tax, most other taxes.
People might think "but muh government programs!" But at the rate we're going there won't be any government programs, only debt. A major change now is the only way to prevent everything from going away.
