This is why the extremely wealth fund the GOP so much.

Billionaires love Trump and the GOP because it keeps them from paying taxes.

It's plenty hard in an oligarchy.

I have some rich family and friends. Tax tf out of them. They’ll be alright. If I ever get rich, tax tf out of me. I’ll be alright.

No one has ever been sad that they moved up a tax bracket.

But put that shit toward public services not cop toys. I DGAF if schools/healthcare/post office/public transportation lose money.

Public services are not intended to turn a profit. Profit would suggest that the best possible service is not being provided; a failure. Loss means more service is being provided than can be sustained; also a failure (but arguably less so depending on the condition). The balance is the hard part.

And it’s amazing that if you just fund the IRS, rich people avoid getting around existing tax laws!
