@rbreich I’m fine with that, but I do pay up to 47% in taxes. Not 0% and certainly not less than anyone else. In fact, mostly more than anyone else.

I might not get much sympathy for my struggles, but the blanket statement of “the top 1% are cheating on taxes” is simply untrue. Some of us are paying everything we owe.

Maybe the focus should be on the top 0.1%? 🤔
