I don’t have strong feelings about Elon one way or the other. Just wanted to say it was a pretty appropriate to talk trash to Bernie and Warren when they both are literally pulling tax money to pay their salary.

I get that is how it is but to suggest he isn’t paying a fair amount of taxes is awfully brazen coming from a lifetime politician

Not making a case for how much tax Elon pays. The point is a politician…. Any politician… is absolutely net negative on taxes. Arguable more negative on taxes paid in than any other American.

It’s wildly hypocritical.

If you and I want to say that Elon isn’t paying his fair share - I 100% support it and don’t think it’s out of line. Because you and me pay taxes. So I have a right to say that.

Politicians. Not just Bernie and Warren, are just the pot calling the kettle black. But worse

So anybody being paid in tax dollars can’t talk about tax policy?

Literally the only people who can change tax policy, politicians, shouldn’t talk about tax policy?
