It's not that they pay more, it's that they pay the same percentage of their income, that a middle class family pays. I'm tired of hearing the rich say Why should I pay more.
There are millions of people who see no change, no matter which political party is in power Or which party helps Wallstreet We need to dismantle the system as lenin did. The whole point of communism and Socialism is we care about all people. Will fight for a better world
Paid less than a 2% tax rate based on their wealth growth include: Warren Buffett (0.1%), Jeff Bezos (1.1%), Mark Zuckerberg (1.1%), Charles and David Koch (1.3% and 1.4%, respectively), and Michael Bloomberg (1.8% ).
Elon Musk paid a mere 2.1% tax rate. (Tax Policy Center, 5/19/2022)
We need to VALUE other things… like “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” telling the “truth,” scientific and medical advances, protection of the least among us… universal health care, protection of the climate and biodiversity, clean air and clean water…
Sam, it’s because they are cheaters, thieves, and liars. They have been stealing all their lives! That’s what they do! They love to see all other people poor, sad, sick, and miserable.
He's not an activist, I looked thru his tweets for something like this. I didn't find many activist type posts. We don't need celebrities to justify our positions, our positions justify themselves. A gov run by shills for the wealthy DOES NOT make for a gov For & By The People.
Maybe we should start a boycott of paying federal income taxes. Should the middle and lower income earners stopped paying, that would get some serious attention. All income earners pay their fair share of taxes! Being to rich to pay is over.
To get rid of the fascist gang in the White House, you simply have to destroy their financial foundation.
The "American Dream" everybody become millionaire they propagate is something that only stupid people believe.
They close schools and universities. Super-rich idiots don't like smart people.
In February 2025, 1,429 new Tesla cars were registered in Germany = 80 percent fewer than in the same month last year.
Almost 30% of Tesla employees near Berlin have called in sick. Musk is furious and now refuses to pay their salaries.
It won't be long before he stops selling Nazi cars here.

This goes into the situation in a bit more detail. "If the top 1% just payed what they owed in taxes, we could close the poverty gap." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoLN0YoErK0
Because, and thanks to Bernie for bringing it up, they have a mental illness whereby they do anything and crush anyone to possess all the wealth they possibly can, and then do vile things to keep it.
I’m dreading our tax bill, but like every year it will be paid by 4/15. What scares me is our investment fund where we’d pull $$ out to pay our property WA taxes & Income all in April. I know we’ve lost $. I dread getting our statement. Retired Boomers.
Chucks on Tour!
Let's go out and make it an event. if your local, get your loco on and meet and greet the man who sold you down the drain.
Let him know, he needs to go.
I just don't understand greed past a certain point. In small degrees it's just human nature, but these motherfuckers could never make another penny in their lives and still have more money than they could spend in a month, let alone their lives.
It's pathological. They're mentally ill. They don't just want enough. They don't even just want abundance. They want it all. Mentally healthy people don't act like that.
I always think that at some point the “accumulation of wealth” or the “love of money”’becomes EVIL…
1 Timothy 6:10
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
When our leaders pursue money… while firing workers and Veterans, starving poor families and children, threatening social safety nets, and damaging long-standing mutually beneficial relationships… we are dealing with the “love of money” as the “root of all evil!”
When you're that rich, the money is secondary. It's more about how much power and influence you have. They rate themselves against others who are as rich or more rich. It's Trading Places on a grander scale.
It's mainly because to earn those billions, those people had to kill off that sense of compassion that would make them give a shit about their fellow human beings.
When you don't use connections and relationships to keep score in the game of life, all you got left is money and possessions.
At first, I thought it wasn’t really a quote of Mr. Jackson. Thought maybe he was hacked. Then finally the mo-fo’s started to appear at the end and I knew we had a true quote. Bless him.
Been saying this forever, thanks Samuel.
This is the only way to really make America great again, is how we treat our people. We need to cherry pick the best social programs the world has to offer and make them better for all of us. But Leon and his buddies don't feel like paying taxes. Boof'inhoo
Yet you as an average citizen are not allowed to deduct your vehicle to use as commuter to and from your work. I checked with my accountant and a commuter is not allowed.
100%!It would save headaches across the spectrum of age, race, class.everyone would benefit.That’s how it used to be so when some long for the good ol’ days they’re missing an era when the rich paid their fair share.It would heal some of the strife between us and help us all get along.My 2 cents!
Because if their sole purpose in life is to become ultra wealthy, then they obviously covet wealth, and if they covet wealth, then they put money above all else, which includes not paying taxes, exploiting workers, and donating to a wealthy criminal POTUS to become even wealthier.
Because they're not liquid assets, they're stocks. And selling massive amounts of stocks to pay the kind of taxes that would be required would destabilize companies and markets. The stock market is a bullshit system, and needs to be entirely replaced before other problems it causes will cease.

Look at Bezos, Zuckerberg, or Musk and imagine them in the animal kingdom.
Wealth is their only power.

It’s not a partisan position. It’s called humanity.
Musk takes $8,000,000a day in our general fund. STOP THAT CRAP!!!

That's what most people would do if they had all the money in the world.

At least some rich people understand.
billionaires paying some minimal tax amount,
why would republican policies race in the opposite direction?
Safe happy waves

A company will never pay taxes. They'll always just be a middle man between the end user and the government
A company pays taxes with your money
Words of Integrity and Values for everyone.
Awesome Samuel Jackson.
According to the irritating kid in Jerry McGuire, the human head weighs 8 pounds.
Under my plan, billionaires should be “taxed” at 4.324%.
That would make their tiny little brains explode!
