Why didn’t the left raise taxes on the rich while it could?

Actually it did, a bit. Obama’s administration increased taxes on the rich through the ACA: increases on taxes on investment income (dividends & capital gains), a higher Medicare tax, and a higher top bracket rate.

And if recent news is correct, Bannon is taking rates further in that direction.

So what are you concerned about?

If higher taxes are what you want, are you concerned that people of the other party are going to get credit for doing what you want? And that your favored party won’t get that credit?

Because who passes taxes makes those additional tax revenues racist?

Because all the additional social services that money could provide will be tainted with white supremacy?

Stop being blinded by your hate. A policy you would otherwise seem to like is being suggested.

Why not evaluate it on its merits, and treat the racism on its own merits?

This is the real meaning of grown-up, rational thinking the left loves to make such a fuss about.

Now it’s about time to actually embrace it.
