You buy every time.
The rich pay on an average 3 % in taxes.
Everything they tell you is smoke and mirrors.
And as far as providing jobs , maybe ,
but they demand Free Labor.

If i have to give up my money just because i'm rich i'll move to another country. Then you can fund your country yourself without the millions i give them every year. How does that sound? No more heavy taxes from the rich!
But where will you spend your money ?

They are only paying
3 % in Taxes on xillions of dollars.
Your country is presently in danger of defaulting on outstanding previous trump debt !
How do you plan to pay it ???
By giving up your Social Security,
Your Medicare
Your money in your 401ks .?
You really need to change channels.

Get a job... That's funny coming from a conservative. There are far more conservatives sitting around without jobs than liberals. The reason why so many conservatives are misinformed about this is because it's the liberals that tend to defend people on welfare, who are themselves mostly apolitical. The conservative delusion is that anyone liberals defend are themselves liberals. Of course this makes sense because conservatives don't defend anyone but themselves so the idea of defending someone who isn't in your club is unfathomable to them.
