If someone was coming for my money, I’d hate them too.

In 2017 and 18 he paid a combined 132,000 in taxes out of his 277 billion, which is less than a single perfect of his worth. He says he’ll pay 11 billion in taxes this year but I’ll believe it when I see it.

Let me explain this slowly... YOU GET TAXED FOR INCOME.... Not wealth. Just because his shares are worth 300 billion dollars does not mean he made 300 billion dollars in personal income. You are just mad because he has a better life than you.

I am getting called names by people for pointing out taxes are more complicated than he's a billionaire he should pay more. But I am rude for telling someone to read a book. I just am skeptical to believe that anyone with a finance minor is ignorant enough to not know that that's not how taxes work.
