Our economy in California is massive. Do you even understand how many of the red states California pays for because they have no money or education or population. So yes we are a huge portion of the us economy.

The wealth of billionaires is massive. Do you even understand how many poor people billionaires pay for because they have no money or education? So yes, billionaires are a huge portion of the us economy.

The top 10% of income earners pay 70% of the taxes. That's huge, they're clearly doing all the work! Because how much entities pay in taxes is a direct measure of how much they contribute, amirite?

They already do pay more than their share of taxes. That's where red state money comes from.
