I’ve heard people say things like “oh, so you want your taxes to pay for…”

“I’m gonna stop you right there and say that if my taxes are going to pay for something that is objectively good for people, then yes. Yes I do.”

Big reason why one should never trust a billionaire. They do not pay taxes, they don't care about the taxes that help people, they only care about their money. Because money is their only value.

@WalksWith you know nothing about business. The top 2% pay about 48% of taxes in US.

@Patriot96 They won't for much longer, when tariff revenue (which is disproportionately paid by the least wealthy consumers) is used to subsidise income tax breaks foe the richest.

@SunshineGirl Speaking of the rich, notice how Trump is setting up a two-tiered visa scheme - if you're rich, roll out the red/gold carpet with no barriers to 'free' entry. If you're not rich, you have to pay to enter the USA and possibly also pay a pretty much non-refundable bond.

@GuidanceCounselor

it's 76% but I was wrong in either case, thank you for pointing that out!
