Companies don't pay enough so the whole tax base is lower than it should be, and definitely need higher tax rates, like it was when so much of the country was built and funded publicly. Some claim to want those olden days again, and wouldn't pay the full taxes anyway after all the deductions. Higher wages and if ever had healthcare for all, workers would have much better quality of life, less stress from scarcity, closer to EU benefits, but still not paid sick, family leave and vacation time at all jobs.

Enough workers must get better benefits than others, they say everyone can do the same, but it's not true, and it's an example of the selfishness that runs deep. Another example is when they see others with benefits they don't have, they want it taken away, rather than realize they deserve it too. From the lore of "pioneers, explorers and the self-made who did it all on their own," people today think they did too. Good for those that really did, and lots of hard workers for sure, but most had help in various ways they don't recognize. I'm not sure if anything will get them to see the truth, since they rely so much on their team for identity, and it teaches them to stay in the basic right/wrong thinking and don't want to think beyond that, too hard, and thinking is stoopid!
