I would hope that both D and R care about tax revenue, although R’s are infamous for wanting the super wealthy to have much lower taxes.

@JP1119 45% is less than 12%? Oh yeah, math is racist, silly me.

@JP1119 This fantasy is at least 30 years out of date. The richest people and corporations are uber liberal 95% of the time. Why would the Republicans favor them?

@SW-User Not true. I read about a study where they surveyed the top 50 richest families in the US. I thought the results would be about even because I thought for every David Koch there was a Ted Turner. I don’t remember the exact breakdown, but I think it was 34 Republican families, eight Democratic, and eight families that were split between Democrats and Republicans. I remember thinking there were more Republican families than I expected and that the Democratic families and split families were equal in number or very close to it. Apparently when you’re really rich you favor the party that cuts taxes for the really rich. Go figure.

@JP1119 how much does $15 per hr - 22% vrs 12 % taxed benefit the part-time workers that are school kids or semi-retired, while the middle class gets pillaged?

@JP1119 I don't believe that. Are you telling me there are scads richer than the google, apple and amazon masters.

Besides party affiliation is meaningless. Does not say how you vote
