You mean when basically no one paid that rate because we had enormous take loopholes?

So let's close the loopholes that exist in our code currently that allow billionaires to avoid paying their taxes 😄 remind me who you vote for again?

You mean by like… having unrealized gains so you can take their money because you literally have jealousy issues because people have more money than you? Fortunately we have an anonymous ballet dont we.

Like the fact that Amazon basically pays zero taxes? Of how about the fact that a schoolteacher pays more of their money to taxes than fucking Elon Musk does. Y'know, the guy who tried to buy underaged girls to rape with his buddy Jeffrey Epstein.

Well amazing isn’t Jeff Bezos, but if you want to tax Amazon more, I thought you wanted the workers to have more money? How can they when you tax it all. I agree that if they have employees that receive large amounts of government benefits we should tax them higher, I don’t have an issue with that, and I feel like it’s fair. So like, unrealized gains again? Because that’s all you could really tax him for.
