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.

I think it was Warren Buffet who said that his companies pay their taxes (and it was some huge number) and that if the top 10 biggest companies paid their fair share, there would be no need for the rest of the country to pay any taxes. I blame the communications companies, spy agencies and investment bankers for raping our language and money system to death
