"At the first Democratic presidential debate, candidates promised to expand government benefits — from tuition-free college to paid maternity leave programs.
How to pay for these new benefits? Simple, they say, just tax the wealthy.That idea may be a winner with the Democrats’ base, but the problem is that the math simply doesn’t work. There simply aren’t enough rich people to tax. If America is going to expand entitlements to European levels, government will have to greatly increase taxes on middle-class Americans, as well. In fact, we already have proof that entitlement expansions mean taxing the middle class — we need look no further than Obamacare."
