at the end of the day raising taxes in so called rich (250k a year isn't rich) even raising taxes on the ultra rich, while it would have more effect still won't solve the problem and making poor people and anyone who doesn't pay income taxes because they don't make enough pay taxes definitely won't help at all since the amount wouldn't add up to much. the idea that if taxes are raised in the higher income brackets, businesses won't hire might be true for smaller to medium businesses but for the huge powerhouses, it makes no difference as there is no need to hire any more people than is needed to create their product or do whatever they need to do.
the problem is government is broken and only works to serve those who fill their pockets via lobbyists, donations and other back room deals. unless you are super rich, you aren't even on their radar of caring. they make sure who gets what contracts and ensures the war machine continues on at huge profits for the companies who supply them. not to mention the financial sector who seems to have a government license to risk it all and when it blows up in their faces, use taxpayer money to make up their losses. until this changes, debt will continue to increase.
