Did someone remind Ro that there was nothing preventing his wife from voluntarily paying more than what she is required to pay.

This is very common faulty logic. RK can be in favor of a wealth tax but opposed to a wealth tax only on him. Here’s why that is not hypocrisy. In the first case RK pays X and the state collects let’s say 1,000X. RK thinks, “It’s worth me paying X so the state can get 1,000X.” In the second case RK pays X and the state collects only X, and RK thinks, “It’s not worth paying X when the state only gets X.”

Talk about faulty logic.

There currently is no wealth tax.

There is no prohibition on paying a greater amount than required.

Instead of voluntarily paying extra, he seeks to impose an obligation on everyone.

It is the height of hypocrisy.

He should just voluntarily donate it.

I’m sorry. I can’t explain it any more clearly than I already did. Anyone with an open mind and average intelligence will find my previous post unassailable.

Enjoy sniffing your own farts. Your explanation is horseshite and is based on the faulty premise that voluntarily paying greater than required is the equivalent of a wealth tax imposed on a single person.

I’m considering donating to charity, but I will only donate if everyone donates.

There is a very common method of charitable giving along those lines. It’s how Charlie Kirk got his big funding start. A potential donor will say, “I’ll donate X amount but only if you raise X, or maybe 2X, elsewhere. So you see, in your glibness you nearly stumbled into a common scenario.

It clearly shows why a person would consider communal giving a good value but simply donating, without any multiplying effect, a bad deal. Anyway, I specified that it took an open mind and average intelligence. Thanks for outing yourself.

It’s a method, but not a common method.

If someone thinks it’s right to give, they should do it regardless of what others do.

Ro needs to use this method to get the very wealthy to contribute to the state, instead of having the state forcibly take the funds under threat.

It’s very common among high net worth donors.

Awesome, then there’s no need for the state to confiscate wealth.

The fact you use this phrase to describe taxes demonstrates you are a fricking moron.
