Not sure why people fail to understand the proposed system.

It's called making the rich pay what they owe.

If they actually pay their taxes, we'll have more taxpayer money. Then we can just readjust our budget (Read: reduce the fucking bloated "defense" budget to $250 billion, still $50 billion more than what China spends, and cut out the contractors so the money actually goes to the actual military.) to pay for things like healthcare. (Which SHOULD be a right and not a privilege.)

You don't have to raise taxes on the middle class to pay for healthcare if you make the rich pay the taxes they've been avoiding for decades. (Also, don't cover self-inflicted shit like smoking, drinking, and obesity or those people will clog up the system.)
