You say you would, do you somewhere:

"argue that increasing taxes on corporations, capital gains, and inheritances in the current system is not a radical position, but a common-sense one."

I would debate this. It might seem like common-sense but the devil is in the details.

I would agree that capital gains taxes should be increased but better would be to tax it like any income. The tax should be progressive and not constant.

When you say increase taxes on inheritances, details please, do you mean increase rates or lower the threshold? Maybe you mean eliminate the threshold and tax all inheritance at high rates. I doubt you mean that as that could mean that some people will lose the homes they live in when their parents die. Any increase to inheritance taxes will not raise more revenue. The rich know how to structure their estates to avoid the taxes.

I completely differ with almost everyone regarding taxes on corporate and business profits. I think they should be zero, if you raise tax rates on the rich and treat capital gains like other income you will be effectively taxing corporate profits because those profits will either show up as capital gains or dividends and get taxed that way.

This eliminates a the loop holes that many companies use to dodge taxes, eliminates a bunch of bureaucracy and eliminates the need for a proper uniform international standard of corporate taxation. Our current president is pushing for such a standard because the playing field is not fair but I think my idea is better.

The full debate of these ideas deserves a lot of back and forth.
