Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffet and Elon Musk, pay little to no taxes.


Ok so you are moving the goal posts now, paying little tax is not the same as no tax. You said no tax and that is absurd and ridiculous.

They pay property tax, payroll tax, fuel tax, sales tax and tons and tons of taxes including even some income tax. Go back to my rambling post and check off how many of those things Bezos, Buffet and Musk do. They pay tons of tax. They pay more taxes in a year than you have made in your whole life.

For instance, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos paid $1.4 billion in personal federal taxes between 2006 to 2018. I wouldn't call $1.4 billion a little amount of taxes. Plus all the other taxes payroll, property ect he pays.

Lets just confiscate 100% of the wealth of the top 25 richest people in the world and split it between everyone. What will you do with your $164.55? Is it worth destroying the economy of the entire world over? The only way to fund these social programs is not by taxing multimillionaires but taxing multimillions of people, basically everyone with a job. Taxing the rich will never work, it's taxing everyone. So if liberals want the government spending $70k per person they are going to need to tax everyone with a job $70k. It's a myth that you can tax the rich and get anything significant paid. You are literally enslaving everyone for a scam, you will be the wallet not billionaires because even taxing 100% of their wealth isn't really jack sh!t.
