If billionaires paid taxes at rates closer to those of average citizens, it would generate hundreds of billions of dollars in additional annual revenue, significantly reduce wealth inequality, and fund major public programs. like healthcare.

Trump is squandering our money. Things were so much better when Obama and Biden were in office. The cost of living now is astronomical.

I don't think anything would be solved if we taxed billionaires more. Specifically, if liberals are running things, that money gets squandered and redirected, ultimately making people rich. Liberals are cruel that way; they don't give a rats ass about anyone or anything that doesn't advance their sick and twisted agenda.

It’s reported that we need 75 billion to diminish the poverty level in this country or wipe it out. It’s also reported that if the wealthy and ultra wealthy in this country would just pay the taxes they owe like the rest of us do, that amount would equal about 70 billion almost wiping out poverty completely

I’m retired, but not: I have to do substitute teaching to get by financially, although I’ve been a PhD scientist since graduate school…: just not fair when people COPY your methods EXACTLY, redo your experiment, get Identical results… then take credit for it when it wasn’t their work.

People talk about billionaires’ effective tax rate being similar to middle and upper middle class Americans. However, if you add in their total growth each year, it is VERY different:

Greed has no limit. Perceived power emboldens the bully to feel big and important but instead demonstrates how small of a being they really are. It’s kind of funny. The haters who want to change everything about this country are screaming ,’ if you don’t like this country then get the hell out’. I’m sure Putin. Chi et al . would welcome billionaire tax payers in their regimes. God bless and keep our troops safe in spite of this fuhrer and his cronies.

It is not okay to pay a lot of taxes!!! Because the government does not use that to give back to the people. On top of that they give tax breaks to millionaires!

Well it’s not right nor is it just the filthy rich in this country. Just the other day in one of the European country’s the billionaires were forced to pay their fair share, but instead they manipulated the system and left the country. That’s what they do and seems like there is nothing anyone can do.

A billion dollars at 5% interest investment pays 500 million a year before taxes so donation to tax exempt charities would help everyone. no saying donate no more than 10% to charities tax free. per billionaire? 🤔👍 ( 8% investment is 800 million) 10% of 500 is 50 million, a million a week per billionaire.

Because we the people voted those people into office and they protect themselves by making laws that help them. The real problem is that Democrats and Republicans are all paid to keep it like it is! So blaming Trump when it’s been going on literally forever is just stupid!

Exactly those billionaires are worse than a drug head. They’re addicted to just knowing they have more money than everyone else just like billionaire spent $50 million on a wedding man a much younger woman she’s waiting for him to die or even divorce. She’s gonna make millions on the divorce with $50 million for a wedding could’ve fed. A lot of kids could’ve paid a lot of people utilities bills that were facing shut off a lot of teachers. The old students loans could’ve been paid off the one that Trump is letting them garish those teachers check just low down

First of all, they do pay their taxes and they pay enormous amounts of it. The thing is that they’re already billionaires their taxes are not gonna bankrupt them like you would like it to Democrats have done nothing that destroyed the financial system and break the United States and ways that are just disgusting. They have created racism and hate they want to take away your right to speech. Yes that is the Democrats not the Republican Camilla Harris publicly stated she wanted to get rid of the fifth amendment. What do people think that is that’s your right to freeze speech they stole and stole and stole these people make $100,000 or less a year and all became billionaires while they were in office off of our tax money by creating fake programs, giving them grants and then closing the programs down. Who do you think owned these programs or started them yep, Democrats.

2.4 trillion from the richest 2%, vs. 890 billion off the middle class with everyone paying a flat 10%, which is clearly unfair to the middle class. Here's the solution, tax the damn 2% a flat 30% and 0% for the rest of us. How can the orange turd pay nothing on no income when he lives like a oil baron.
