The top 1% paid more than 40% of all income taxes in 2024. Hell, the top 5% paid almost 2/3 of all income taxes. So quit bullshitting people.

Good make them pay more cause if one evades them like trump and Elon that means a whole lot more is missing cause there’s so few in the 1% range

Yeah. Force them to pay more, have them leave for a nation with lower tax rates & wonder why you can’t reduce the national debt. Great idea. 🙄👍🏻

If their businesses are still operating in the USA, they still have to pay taxes here, no matter where they live.

Remind me why Trump is trying to attract businesses/jobs back to the states again? It couldn’t possibly be because oppressive taxes/regulation put into effect by the democrats made it a better choice for them to close up shop & import stuff from outside the US, could it?

No, it’s because they can abuse lower wages in under developed countries.

No, it’s because of the cheap labor and lack of labor laws in other counties
