Let's go point by point in this MSNBC vomitfest.Quote:

2) "Taxes and polls have given the wealthy and unfair advantage." - No idea what you are babbling about "polls", but taxes in this country are very progressive, meaning the wealthy pay a higher percentage in federal taxes.
3) "Republicans think pulling services from common people and giving tax breaks to the wealthy will fix things." - This is just MSNBC talking again. The Trump Tax Cuts reduced taxes for ALL income brackets, not just the wealthy. The standard deduction nearly doubled, which heavily benefited the middle class.
4) "The wealthy can contribute their fair share and we lift up everyone from the top." - The top 1% of earners already contribute a disproportionate share of federal income taxes. The top 1% pay 42.3% of ALL federal income taxes in 2020.. but only earned 22% of the income, while the bottom 50% only paid 2.3% of federal income taxes.
I would say think before you post as this information has already been told to you ad nauseum.. but we both know that's not your strong suit.
This was pretty funny for a meme from the Left. Or perhaps someone with common sense having a little fun.

Have you ever stopped to consider that the "tax" situation isn't a revenue problem, but instead is a problem with the government being terrible with our money?Quote:

Stop being gullible.

Use Elon Musk as your use case. How much should he contribute as his fair share? Be specific, even base it upon his old valuation of 400Billion.Quote:

Once you do that, I'll explain how because he doesn't have hundreds of millions (or billions I suppose, since you are that stupid) sitting in cash, how he'll then fire people from his companies to pay his taxes (labor cuts are the most efficient way of cost reduction), and ultimately end up going bankrupt so he can keep his wealth and just put 10s of thousands of people out of work. Now there is one less top 1%er in the US, so even less tax revenue to come in.
