No matter how much you suck the government's ass, they'll never stop taking and wasting your money.

The only beneficiaries of high taxes is politicians, end of story.

I do not need or care to have the billionaires on my side. I want people to be treated fairly.

Gains at the top are significantly higher. That's the problem here.

And you're delusional if you think the government will stop at billionaires. They're going after everyone that owns assets.

How do they suck you dry when you aren't even paying taxes in the same amount as the rich?

If you're rich you can hire the most expensive tax consultants and take advantage of the tax loopholes, both the Democrats and Republicans refuse to close.

And Elon contributes FAR MORE to the economy as a whole than Bernie ever did his entire life.

How many jobs as Bernie created in his 50 years preaching communism in Congress?

In Europe, they don't call it communism. Social democracy is quite different. Yes, there are billionaires in those Europeans countries that support the Social Democrats. I've done any number of walking tours of Europeans cities on Youtube and haven't seen a homeless person yet.

I agree. We have people that make 20% of income paying 40% of all federal income tax. Extremely unfair
