The 1% didn't earn it either.
They are hoarding their wealth, and that's why we haven't had sustained GDP growth above 3% in over 20 years.

Why not? You haven't explained why. You tried to switch the subject.
Why shouldn't someone who makes 99% of the income in this country, pay 99% of the taxes on it?
The only people who were given "free money" were the wealthy business owners who dipped into those PPP funds, didn't share them with their workers, didn't protect their workers during the lockdowns, didn't protect their workers during the pandemic, and then whined and bitched and moaned that they couldn't find anyone to work for them for shitty wages.
PPP was the free handout that almost every single rich person took advantage of and who are now complaining that they can't find people to work for shitty wages.
Maybe instead of hoarding all that PPP money, they could have used it to raise the wages of their workers.
But they didn't, because they're greedy and corrupt.
These are the people you are defending because you think they're going to thank you for this.
They're not. They don't even know you exist.

Guess where trillions of federal debt came from?
We have to have our Congress vote on how to pay for everything we do except one BIG GIANT EXPENSE.
!!! WAR !!!
Where is the law which requires us to figure out how to pay for war?
Oh, that's right. WE DON'T HAVE ONE.

Game, set, match, PostmodernProphet!
We do not have a a lack of money issue we have a spending problem and it starts with money going to those like yourself who refuse to work. Those who have no skill, yet expect to make the Salary of skilled labor, and get a company car starting out, with three weeks paid vacation!

Why don't we have a law that says whenever we engage in war that we have to figure out how to pay for it?
Then don't complain about poor economic growth and the poor paying no taxes.
Not one single low wage worker took even $1 in PPP funds.
Every single penny of that went to the rich, who are now complaining that they can't find people to work for them.
This, after being showered with $2T in tax cuts that they didn't invest like you promised they would.
The time has come to soak the rich since they are just hoarding their wealth.
About half of all rich people inherited their wealth, and the other half used what skills to accrue it?
Pay them more and they will.
You're the one who doesn't want them to pay taxes because you don't want their wages to increase.
Why are you punching yourself?
