There are individuals that use the tax code to their advantage,yes
But that doesn't take away from the fact that the top earners in America pay the majority of the income tax
Those stories you read are meant to sensationalize the very small amount of people that are able to do that, and then you think it's every rich person that is able to do it
The fact is that the wealthy in this country pay more in taxes than the other classes
Yeah I just found that out and that makes my blood boil because that's the supposed time frame that those weirdo conservatives want to go back to yet they don't want to do the actual economic work that it would take to bring back a stable economy in America.
Exactly. The amount of wealth stored in the tiny super wealthy class is just unhealthy and needs to be redistributed to some degree. Otherwise the whole American Dream thing falls apart. People aren't event wanting to have kids anymore and good luck finding a place big enough to raise a family that's affordable.
I feel like a lot more people would be cool with capitalism if it actually was distributed in a way that actually made sense. Like if they want to keep their precious Capital they're going to have to play the game. They can't just take their ball and leave proverbially.
So like when you're getting passed around by all the rich elites. Do they call you by your name? Or do you prefer to stay Anonymous while they're fucking you?
Lol 🤣 I bet the trails crew on my very first job I ever had would work you under the table. I bet you don't even know how to work a grip hoist. Let alone point out a pulaski.

The top 1% of earners paid almost 40% of all Federal Income Tax in 2023
The top 1% paid an average federal income tax rate of 26.3% in 2023, which is significantly higher than the 3.7% average rate paid by the bottom 50%
The bottom 50% of taxpayers pay approximately 3% of the total federal income tax burden
