6. The tax issue is real

But that fool is blaming the wrong side. Reagan started this mess but cutting taxes on the wealthy and doing lots of things to the tax code to help the biggest shareholders and their executive lackeys, along with cutting progressive spending that supports the economy and funneling way too much into the military industrial complex. Those policies do lead to an onerous tax burden on a small business guy like him, but it isn't the little bit of health care and social spending it is the things that send money to just a small set of communities. This started in 1960s when the government started raiding the social security trust fund to pay the current year's bills, and has continued.
