the mess left from 4 years of a Trump administration, taxes will have to raised on the very wealthy...like Bill Clinton did to help get us back into financial shape. No quibbles about it. No taxes on the earned income, working families but much higher taxes on the ultra wealthy who have benefited from the suffering of the masses over the past 3 years. AOC is right on target with her message on taxes.
