    “I don’t agree with the idea of just singling out people because of how much they have or don’t have,”

    That’s literally how income tax works, you ignorant slut.

      The ones being singled out are poor people and the middle class. The rich get preferential rates, deductions that only apply to them, the ability to have armies of accountants and lawyers to limit their liability, and are far less likely to be audited.

      It SHOULD be that all income within different brackets should be taxed the same. The rich only pay more because they have more. We all should be taxed 50% on income over $500,000, it’s just that most of us don’t have any income over that.

      He best start believing in being singled out to pay more taxes because the alternative is being singled out to have his head cut off.

      The old old money knew this. Why do the nuveau rich not?

      I wonder if he feels the same about healthcare, housing, food, and clean water. Regardless of how much shit he has, he can live in the same apartment with the same public water and food deserts and a doctor that isn’t on his personal staff.
