Also, taxes on the rich can get out of control pretty quickly. For instance, in Hollywood around the 1960s-70s, after making a certain amount of money actors would only get 6 cents out of every dollar they made, which is ridiculous, regardless of how much they already have.

Again, simply taxing the rich normally would get the government an extra $11 million per hour. It's more than enough to fund both and many other programs for the betterment of society.
