re: My Semester with Snowflakes

Come on, the discussion was clearly about billionaires. Don’t intentionally conflate that with those who are simply wealthy just to try and backdoor your way into a win.


You’re right that it’s dumb AF to say that billionaires don’t pay any taxes, but it’s also disingenuous AF to suggest that they are paying more than everyone else. Here’s the breakdown for 2018:

quote:

---

In 2018, billionaires paid 23% of their income in federal, state, and local taxes, while the average American paid 28%.

shite like Warren’s wealth tax is absurd, but getting billionaire tax collections in line with the average American shouldn’t be asking too much.
