From a religous perspective.
It’s fairly basic understanding that Jewish education is a must. Public for the overwhelming majority of orthodox jews is simply not an option.
So incredibly an entire network of schools have been created.
Yet tuition barely covers half the budget of most of our schools.
In addition to that we have shuls.
We have Camps.
We have Chesed organizations.
All of these cost money.
And they are supported by wealthy individuals.
What would happen if all of a sudden those wealthy individuals would be paying 70% taxes>
Hint: One of the most famous cases against the New Deal was Shuster.
It was a Kosher butcher suing the government because New deal policies made it impossible to run a kosher slaughtering company.
If you think there is a tuition crisis now, wait till there is attempts at imposing 70% tax rates on the wealthy individuals giving tens of millions of dollars
