He went to Washington in the 70s as a low paid civil servant and now has a net worth of $40 million.

Can someone explain how that happens? Because I don’t think he’s gotten to multi-millionaire status by “paying his fair share.”

The Fair Tax is the only way to accomplish this.
Rich people buy more shite, they pay more taxes. Who cares about the very few millionaires that are tight asses.

Note:. The Fair Tax has methods for making sure the bottom 50% don't pay any taxes. Also it has methods to make sure the evil corporations don't have windfall profits.

The bottom 50% of income earners pay virtually no income taxes and some actually pay negative taxes (i.e., their deductions and credits result in them not only not paying but actually getting paid by the IRS).


None of that return from credits is counted as welfare or government assistance either.

Most of the super rich made their fortune by buying access to the government trough.
You can bet they aren't paying anything.

The Lackey democrat voters are too stupid to figure it out.
How much has Biden added to the government treasure in his lifetime?
Name a politician that has added. They will be robbing us till they die, even if out of office.

Trump didn't receive a salary, wonder if he is receiving retirement pay?

This is a big problem. Something like 40 to 47% (remember that number?) don't pay federal income taxes.


The bottom 50% only pay 3% of total income tax and the top 10% pay 70% of total income tax. That is from a link to the NTUF below based on 2017 and 2018 numbers.

This is just the government saying the wealthy have more money to take so why not go after it. I expect it from the government, what blows my mind is any average citizen cheering for higher taxes. There are people that think the government deserves more money.

Huey Long said that 100 years ago. Biden needs to come up with something original.

I doubt Biden was making this distinction because he's f'n retarded, but to the discussion in this thread he mentioned "wealthy" - and "wealthy" is very different from high income. The very wealthy in this country pay little income tax because they're really smart people, and know how to live off of assets as opposed to relying on income.

frick the middle class. I’ll make them poor. When there’s nothing left but poverty and the government then there’s equity and an iron fist to keep it that way.
