I'm entirely onboard with reducing tax on low/mid income folks currently "exchanging a large fraction of their life for the small wage" in favor of increased taxes on the billionaire class, yes.
We already have the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
We already have all sorts of things that I like.
We seem to be making most of the changes in favor of the already very well-off, instead of, say, expanding the EITC.

That covers maybe the bottom 30% of households, and realistically only if they have kids.
