That’s one of the arguments my dad makes too, depending on the source he pays like 1-2% in taxes on a given year which was over a billion dollars last year.
And at one point it was pretty close to that in many parts of the West. For as much as American conservatives want to go back to the 50s socially, they don’t seem keen on bringing back the fiscal policies of the time…
And the people who want to go back to the 50s don’t realise that the fiscal policies were what made that time great, not the social norms.
For example, the great thing wasn’t that women had to do the housework, the great thing was that you only needed one worker per household to live a good life.
How the the story of the nurses who pay more tax than Bezos didn’t result in a landslide for progressives, I’ll never understand.
Propaganda is a helluva drug
including misinformation and disinformation from right wing sources.
Yes…that’s what I said
More as a percentage* than nurses.

Which is hilarious. That percentage should be around 40-50% if not more.
