They're not gonna fix the streets, cure the homeless problem - Joe Rogan sees no point in the American rich paying higher taxes 

In the 1844th edition of the JRE podcast, Joe Rogan opined that there was no point in the American rich paying higher taxes. The podcast host stated that the government was just going to find new ways to spend taxes rather than fix real problems.

Talking to Tom Segura on the podcast, Rogan told the comedian that the American bureaucracy was so ineffective that even if the rich paid 75% in taxes they were not going to fix the streets or solve the homeless problem:

"I think the bureaucracy in this country is so clogged up and f**ked up and ineffective. I just don't think they'd be better if like we all just gave 75% taxes. They are not going to fix the streets, they are not going to fix the homeless problem, fix all the crime... They'll find new ways to tell you that rich people are not paying their share, so you turn on them."

Most folks certainly are not getting the tax breaks these corporations are getting."
