Let us incorporate the wisdom of that applied philosophy known as economics here a bit, shall we?

Since taxation is the most direct means of reducing an activity, I suggest we tax Democrats at a 30% higher rate than everyone else. Young Democrats will be taxed at a 50% higher rate – better to nip it in the bud, as it were. This will instruct the gullible early on about the joys of having the fruits of one’s labor confiscated.

Trumpit warrants a special bracket of [whatever Trumpit pays now, assuming it’s positive] + %70%.

This should reduce the number of stupid economic statements made.

There’s half the problem solved…

[Yes, it could lead to disincentive to work, backward-bending labor supply curve, etc.]
