It’s not my job is answer every strange question you ask. I focus on the ones that make sense and ignore the others.
We have a spending problem in this country. The democrat gave tricked to think it’s a taxing issue. It isn’t. We could take all the billionaires money and we’d still not cover our spending for a year.
We need to spend less.

They all make sense, some just make you uncomfortable.
I somewhat agree, but it’s not as simple as just that.
Can you please retype this so it makes better sense so I can respond? Or at least understand?
Have we reached the point in the Democrat President’s term where Conservatives remember that the national debt is a thing? How much did the last guy contribute to that vs the current guy?

The Democrats tricked you into thinking it’s a taxing issue.

Doubt it. I’m skeptical of what the Democrats say as well. Although I have historically aligned with them more than Republicans, they are not our friends either.
What do you mean specifically by “taxing issue”? It’s multi-faceted and TBH we’ve been only barely mentioning specifics in this thread without drilling down into the “why” so you’ll have to be more descriptive.
One thing I know Democrats haven’t tricked me on is how much each president has contributed to our country’s spending problem. The democrat president always seems to be the least awful at this.

This president has been one of the worst. The last president who really did a decent job with spending was Clinton. Otherwise, they have all spent more than they brought it.
The Democrats want you to believe if the top 5% paid more then all our problems would be solved. It wouldn’t. We spend too much as a country. The only way to tax our way our of it is everyone pays their fair share and stop expecting 5% to pay the bulk of the taxes. The top 5% pays the bulk of the taxes far larger than their income.
You can tax your way out of stupid spending.
