> How much more exactly should the rich pay?

This is an idealogical framing of the conversation. The opposing idealogical framing is:

How much greater economic inequality can society tolerate?

One day, your side will realize that it is your attempts to "fight economic inequality" that have resulted in the economic inequality you rail against.

It is this lack of understanding of economics that makes it easy to manipulate you come election time.

And the more your policies destroy people's lives the more you demand even more centralized control.

Yes, an entire "side" profoundly misunderstands basic economic principles.

Which side was it, do tell, that created faux think tanks in the 70s to espouse a particular economic philosophy? These would be the same think tanks that seem to simultaneously advocate for the "marketplace of ideas" and then shun their members when they show a lack of ideological purity.
