The NEA’s list of simplistic solutions reminds me of recent comments made by the new darling of the Democrat party, democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
In a recent interview on the Daily Show, Trevor Noah asked her how she intended to pay for all of the new governmental programs she want to put into place.
Two of the NEA’s “solutions” were covered in her answer:
“One of the things that we saw is, if people pay their fair share, if corporations and the ultra-wealthy … raised our corporate tax rate to 28 percent … If we get people to pay their fair share, that’s $2 trillion in ten years.”
Sad, but she is as clueless as the NEA.
Both forget the law of unintended consequences – often people and corporations simply vote with their feet.
Raising taxes will do just that.
