And I’m not sure that the ‘taxation causes poverty’ argument is valid - there are plenty of countries with higher tax rates and lower poverty rates than the US. Poverty on a national scale has less to do with how a government is funded than how it manages those funds.

The idea that Taxes cause poverty in a wealthy nation like the US is absurd and is used by the upper class as an excuse for why they shouldn't have to pay
