Increasing taxes on the rich forces them to take their money overseas where the government can't get it. We should incentivise rich individuals to spend their money here while cracking down on loopholes that allow massive corporations to pay nothing in tax

Add another top tax bracket and increase taxes on that top tax bracket

Introduce Capital Gains Tax to fund infrastructure. Increase tax of wealthy and reduce tax for low discretion income earners. Separate all social benefit funding from political impact.
