Who cares. Look at all this defense you put up when we discuss taxing billionaires more. I just pointed out that 3 out of 4 billionaires have seen their fortunes skyrocket since Corona. We claimed even before corona their unchecked wealth and power over our government was a problem even before this. And Trump gave them tax breaks in 2018? Totally unnecessary. It's as if you want the government to go bankrupt. How will that help you anarchists?Don't you know?He pays significantly less today than he did in 2015.
What was his income in 2015? What is his income today?
You made a claim......you don't know?
Who cares.
You were the one whining about his lower payment today, apparently you care.

Who cares? They own stocks, stocks have mostly gone up.

Yes, your constant push for reducing the size and scope of government was refreshing.
And Trump gave them tax breaks in 2018?
Me too.
Stocks have gone up for one reason. Billions interjected
They need to go after the illegal employers. The people hiring the illegal workers. Going after illegal workers won't work if companies aren't afraid to hire them they'll just keep on coming wall or no wall.Business entities that contribute to US unemployment should be punished.YesI like Bernie Sanders plan...And Billionaires should be taxed more. I don't even think they care. Only you right wing cons want to protect/defend their fortunes. Even when that means eventually they'll have to raise your taxes and cut your social security/Medicare.Apparently, Elon is a better salesman than you.Elon has tripled his net worth since Corona. TRIPLED. Wake up middle class AmericHere’s how much these billionaires would pay under Sen. Bernie Sanders’ proposed “Make Billionaires Pay Act”:
-Jeff Bezos $42.8B
-Elon Musk $27.5B
-Mark Zuckerberg $22.8B
Stop saying “we can’t afford” Homes for All, Green New Deal or Medicare for All.
If we didn't spend trillions on endless wars and tax breaks for millionaires, we could afford to house our homeless, care for our seniors, and save our planet.
We suffer from greed, not scarcityThe Pandemic Has Benefited One Group Of People: Billionaires

So you are crying about taxing Elon Musk 27 billion? Are you retarded?
I'm a fan of Tesla but has Musk made a profit on anything yet?
How Rich is Too Rich For Democracy?
At what point does great wealth held in a few hands actually harm democracy, threatening to turn a democratic republic into an oligarchy? It's a debate we haven't had freely and openly in this nation for nearly a century, and last week, by voting to end the Estate Tax, House Republicans tried to...www.commondreams.org
You're fighting us liberals meanwhile the billionaires are WINNING.
Citizens United is another bad move towards the rich controlling our government with their influence. No one can defend this can they?
Tax business at 75% if they off-shore and/or use Business Visas.
Do you agree?
No. Typical lefty, taxation as punishment, not taxation as a funding source.
What about a government that contributes to unemployment by continuing to allow low skilled labor to flood the market?
go after the supply and the demand. but going after the employers to a degree of putting them out of business stops them from employing anyone, so it makes more sense to go after the supply
How's that working?
Don't know, we really haven't tried it full blast.
And why is that?
