Of course I was concerned about how to fund the wedding bombs. The fact that government is spending money on something stupid is no reason to be less concerned and skeptical about new expensive government initiatives.
Nobody is going to say "sure the deficit is increasing even more, but at least the spending is consistently wasteful instead of only wasteful towards rich people".
Corporate taxes basically don't exist in the US. Taxes on the wealthy barely exist compared to the most productive period in US history, when they were 94%. Your question reveals more about its asker than the subject. The whole point of having a country is so that the resources we generate together can be used to help the country, not so that a tiny wealthy oligarchy can siphon off all our resources and leave us to die, then when we ask to live, say "how will you pay for it?" [because I, after stealing your money, obviously won't give any of it back to you]
