His point was that higher taxes hit the say 30-99% MUCH harder than the 1%. This is unavoidable for at least two reasons:

• Taxable income is a MUCH larger fraction of wealth for them than the 1%.
• The higher you are the more flexibility you have to avoid taxes.

Hence my statement on the coastal elites. They hold their money, and they hold their power.

Regardless of party affiliation.

Wrong.

Newsom has said a replacement for Feinstein would be temporary, not one of the current candidates.  I don't think it matters at all, anyone appointed would vote in lock step with their party.  The way I look at all of this is Democrats want to fix the deficit by more spending, Republicans want to fix the deficit by cutting taxes.  They end up doing both over time, except for fixing the deficit of course.

We still have most of the Bush tax cuts in place, and most of the Trump tax cuts in place, etc.  As for spending, well, Republicans like to TALK about cutting it.  Somehow.

Agreed.
Both parties' ideas on this are hot garbage.  The republicans go a little further by pretending they'd actually spend less than the Dems, but that's an obvious lie.  It's hard to cut spending when you wage perpetual war. 

1. Of course there are. And they mostly keep to themselves and don't dive into trying to change this country (save for some plumber butt governor in Illinois).
