No, that will actually mean that you get lower tax revenue than if you hadn’t raised taxes at all. The laffer curve dictates that you will have even worse public programs than if you had chosen to tax less

If they’re not willing to pay their fair share to be here then they’re not worth keeping. The trash taking itself out sounds wonderful for the American people

This largely only applies to the ultra wealthy who has the means to just leave or exploit tax loopholes like living in Florida instead of NY

So I think this means that we should tax the lower middle class a LOT more because they can’t leave.
