No intelligent discussion of how tax laws should be changed in our national interest can occur until Americans have a clearer picture of how the system as a whole really works. ProPublica has been probably the leading investigative journalist in uncovering this usually hidden reality. They, as here, regularly report on the growing oligopoly of billionaire capitalists that most definitely avoid paying anything like “their fair share of taxes”:
The Secret IRS Files: Trove of Never-Before-Seen Records Reveal How the Wealthiest Avoid Income Tax
ProPublica has obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Warren Buffett pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth — sometimes, even nothing.
i'm not into ugly broads.
You are insulting and come off as a partisan hack. I am not a Democrat and will only point out that the IRS has not been authorized to change tax laws but merely to try to enforce them. In my opinion they haven’t been doing a very good job even of enforcing existing laws — especially when they need to confront the plutocrats and corporations with their armies of accountants and lawyers.
How many jobs do that 40% of earners provide? How much in taxes do all those employees of that 40% pay?
Those that supported and promoted the demise of America will be the first to be eaten. “The revolution often devours its own children”.
Who suffers more when gas, groceries and basically all Necessities and everything else are exponentially higher than what they were under Trump? Ain’t the rich.

Most of us have to work and are taxed on the income we get by the sweat of our labor, regardless of whether we are renters taking public transportation to work or have a home and have managed to accumulated other assets. Billionaires and most two and three digit multi-millionaires are different. They don’t have to work at all, but they have for decades enjoyed spectacular and regular increases in completely untaxed “wealth” which is simply not considered income. How this is possible, how it is encouraged by our tax system and ignored in your Heritage Foundation colorgram is explained here:

Agree. He cannot run on the usual Democrat promise to raise taxes on the rich, given his own son’s evasion.
