As surprisingly reasonable response from you. Thank you. I would contend that most people, including conservatives, are willing to pay more in taxes as long as they are reasonably assured it won't wasted. Politicians usually waste most of the money.
Maybe one solution is that billionaires make tax deductible contributions exclusively to the pet capital projects of their choice and then get them named after them. The Bill Gates dam, the Jeff Bezo's Highway whatever. That's already happening here where some billionaires got hospitals named after them after they plunked down $50 million or so.
Win win for everyone plus the benefactors money goes where it should & doesn't get wasted on something it shouldn't.
