People that instead of wanting to become wealthy are truly ignorant of what the "wealthy" pay!

[healthmyths]

Frequently the biased MSM present biased stories about the wealthy supposedly appealing to the non-wealthy. Which by the way is the same position anti-democracy , socialist countries falsely appeal to while their dictators become "wealthy".
One of the most glaring example of how the MSM ignores the reality of the "wealthy" continually falsely contend the "ultra-wealthy" screws the common person.
Here are two FACTS that the biased MSM hardly ever shares regarding the "ultra-wealthy"!
A) Biased MSM wants the non-wealthy to believe the "ultra-wealthy" should be taxed more.
FACTS:
In 2021, taxpayers filed 153.6 million tax returns, reported earning more than $14.7 trillion in adjusted gross income (AGI), and paid nearly $2.2 trillion in individual income taxes.

• The top 50 percent of all taxpayers paid 97.7 percent of all federal individual income taxes,
• while the bottom 50 percent paid the remaining 2.3 percent.
  
  

  Summary of the Latest Federal Income Tax Data, 2024 Update

  The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) made many significant, but temporary, changes to the individual income tax code to lower tax rates, widen brackets, increase the standard deduction and child tax credit, and more.

  DO YOU people that want to tax the ultra-wealthy more comprehend that? 97.7 % of all federal taxes was paid by 50% of the top taxpayers

B) In 2024 47.31% of all Social Security and Medicare payments was paid by EMPLOYERs... i.e. the wealthy... shareholders, etc....
Do you ignorant people that work for one of those employers' that MATCH exactly what you pay to SS/Medicare KNOW THIS?
By Law... and you dummies want to RAISE taxes on the wealthy who financed the employers that PAY equally what YOU pay to SS/Medicare?
So If I were an "ultra-wealthy" unfortunately due to my several start-up businesses that were too early in the 80s/90s... I'd push then if agreeing to
INCREASED sharing of tax revenue from 97.7% to 100% of all federal taxes then to drop my share of the employers' SS/Medicare payments!

Please you supposedly "smart" haters of the "ultra-wealthy" , refute this comment!

I heard this morning that 73% of US tax revenue comes from billionaires and their business interests.

Yet for some dumb shit politicians that's not enough.

And so 97.7% is not a fair share?

 

[Mr Natural]

It’s horrible what the poor mistreated billionaires have to endure.

 

[Mac1958]

We still have to do it. We have to increase income taxes on the top end.

Is if "fair"? No. It's not fair. It's dumb when the Dems say "fair share".

Life isn't fair. It isn't fair when millions are born into miserable conditions with little hope. It isn't fair when horrible things happen to good people.

We put ourselves into this fix, and we have to do it. We also have to complete a SMART and SERIOUS (non-chainsaw) audit of federal spending and streamline the government. We have to do BOTH.

This is no time for "fair". We're sinking. Myopic partisan politics is only making it worse.

I dunno, ask the lefties to apply math to their bumper sticker governance.

Pretty amazing that so much carnage and chaos has been swirling, how many jobs have been lost, how many lives have been adversely affected, just to avoid increasing income taxes on the top end.

OK... so it sounds like you are ok with the government spending money for example nearly $80,000 for Columbia & Portugal transgenders "

• $1.5 million to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities”
• $70,000 for production of a “DEI musical” in Ireland
• $2.5 million for electric vehicles for Vietnam
• $47,000 for a “transgender opera” in Colombia
• $32,000 for a “transgender comic book” in Peru
• $2 million for sex changes and “LGBT activism” in Guatemala
• $6 million to fund tourism in Egypt

At USAID, Waste and Abuse Runs Deep

For decades, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has been unaccountable to taxpayers as it funnels massive sums of money to the

www.whitehouse.gov

You are OK with the above that add to the $36 trillion national debt?

 

[apolitical]

I laugh how libtards screw themselves. I'm hardly a fan of Gates or Bezos, but I will try to learn something from them. Instead of clamoring "their fair share!" the libtard should try to learn how to cut his own taxes.

Nope, I specifically pointed out how we need to streamline government. Specifically. It's right there on your screen.

I don't know why you folks constantly claim I say the opposite of what I actually say.

The funniest thing I have seen in my days is the left constantly railing against Big Pharma and the one percenters and then forcing everyone to get free shots paid by the government, making Big Pharma richer. The left also made Elon Musk one of the richest people in the world by mandating us out of gas powered cars and into Teslas.

How many Tesla autos have you owned or been forced to own?

Not those that practice tax avoison.

There are more taxes than just the income tax. A lot of it is paid by the lower classes. Frankly, according to the constitution the federal income tax is very questionable though. And the way the federal income tax was written we are supposed to pay it every few months or so. Like businesses do. The powers that be though many decades got judges to do us a favor and take it out of our salaries. Why? They know a lot of people will not send the federal government money owed as taxes.

Democrats have continued to issue EV mandates and force fossil fuels out and rig MPG numbers so that the only vehicles you will be able to buy are EV's. In case your brain can't remember, Teslas are EV's and democrats have done everything they could to make Elon Musk richer. Now that he has turned traitor on them after democrats making him filthy stinking rich, he must be tarred and feathered and hanged for striding outside the Borg Collective.
