So it's normal to let children go hungry, let banks force people out of their homes, and let sick people die due to lack of access to healthcare..

But it's apparently insane to suggest that billionaires could just be less rich - not poor, not struggling, but just..less rich.

Yay capitalism!

All could almost be forgiven if the top 1% would just pay their owed tax burden

Rather than being enabled to stash cash overseas with no penalty.

@Picklebobble2 "President Biden and first lady Jill Biden saved up to $500,000 by routing $13 million they received in book sales and speeches in 2017 and 2018 through S corporations, according to a Congressional Research Service report."

@sunsporter1649 Same rules apply.
If people on the lowest incomes are not exempt from paying their fair share there's no reason why the wealthier should get away with it.

And if those that do are from a wealthier class, especially if they hold high public office, makes even more sense they're held accountable to a higher standard.

@Picklebobble2 Obviously your opinion does not apply to rich demonocrats

@sunsporter1649 my comment relates to anyone in high public office whatever their political party
