Taxes are always on the mind of libs , but the subject at hand is inflation . All the taxes in the world will not help that .
I submit that I have a way to reduce inflation ... call it the 3 C program :
Close the border
Cut off the printing presses
Cull all libs from government

I Forgot ? C'mon man ,read my reply ! Can you think , without thinking "taxes" ? Again I say taxes will not help curb inflation .
but I do agree that taxes are too high , but if the third rule is followed , taxes will be taken care of , helping the poor immensely

I'm talking about the wealth of billionaires. In 2007, Bezos, already a billionaire didn't pay a penny on federal income tax (all perfectly legal). Musk, also a billionaire paid no income tax. Jeez, even Trump paid $750. The 25 richest Americans saw their income increase $408 billion between 2014 to 2018. They paid $13.8 billion in taxes and while a large amount, it's only 3.4%. Even good old Warren Buffet saw his wealth increase $25 billion over this time frame. He reported he paid $25 million in taxes, that's .1%. That's 10 cents for every $100 his wealth increase. Hardly fair considering the tax rate you & I pay (I'm assuming your not a billionaire, don't mean to anger you if you are). So is this fair, I guess it depends on your point of view. It's perfectly legal., they've done nothing illegal.

Bingo.

However, I believe people should be treated equally - I do not want to be treated "fair" unless I get to determine what "fair" is.

Treat everyone equally - everyone pays taxes at the same rate.

Ii would agree, a flat rate tax or some other system. You didn't say, but I guess you're not in the "billionaire" club?

More money in the system. More balanced revenue stream. The notion that immigration is the driver of high inflation is a false one. Nothing more than a fiddled way to criticize Biden. The drivers of inflation are to high a level of mandatory fed spending. SS & military spending are the largest.
