From 2018 but pretty indicative of how taxes are "shared" among the income groups. Note the top 10% are paying 71% of the taxes -

Even if we could somehow justify taxing the wealthy even more, they'd just leave. Look at California's exodus that is occurring both for financial and political reasons. Wealthy people have the means to leave and the tax loopholes they can take advantage of.

Hah, some chick wants to use the dude's bathroom? Has she never seen how gross boys bathrooms are? I say give it to her and don't allow her to change her mind.

The smell alone in a middle school boys bathroom would lead one to question their sense of AIM.

...and why are the sinks always bone-dry?
