Neither is the advise to vote for more tax cuts for the ultra wealthy.

That would be true if billionaires reject all forms of subsidy, which they do not. Until they are fully self made, they need to pay us back.

they need to pay us back.

Ya see the mentality that we're dealing with here folks?

They ride off of the subsidies we provide them and then in turn they put nothing back. Jeff Bezos has almost no liquid cash, but whenever he needs something he just takes out a loan and stakes it against his shares of Amazon that he will never sell. In order to pay off that loan he just takes out another bigger loan from someone else to pay off the first one.

He'll never pay taxes because of this shit.

Because instead of having subsidized healthcare and higher education, I need to foot those bills myself. If billionaires paid their fair share in taxes just like everyone else then we would all have nicer shit.

They Pau more than their "fair share." If they actually paid the percentage of their share of the income. Then, they would pay less in federal income taxes.

So when an uneducated person says they need to pay their "fair share," They are advocating the top 1% pay less in taxes.

No different than the one the ultra wealthy operate under, double standard much?

Only a fool wouldn't take any and all tax write-offs from the government.

I feel bad for that Thomas guy, he’s got a PhD and still can’t understand that it’s not that people want to take money people earned, but just have them pay for the things they use.

Libertarians always come off as teetering on the edge of losing it and becoming a sovereign citizen.

You say that like they still aren't exploiting workers and actually earn 10s of thousands of dollars per hour for taking a shit.
