Raising taxes is really not part of the solution because increasing tax rate rates will likely not yield more tax collection. The real problem is immense spending on seniors to live a free life

>increasing tax rate rates will likely not yield more tax collection

What's so special about our current tax rates that you're making this claim? Because if you believe that higher tax rates don't yield more tax collected, why not argue for tax rates to approach 0%? So either you're couching your real and unpopular opinion like I described in my first comment or you're claiming that our tax rates are optimized for tax collected.
