the tax started in 2023 and the ''study'' you linked shows data from 2019-2022, and they're bemoaning that the 1% has to pay 23% of the income taxes. I'm sure they'll be happy in Florida.
So if they’re already leaving because of high taxes, and they tax them even more, guess what…even more will leave. It’s not speculative, it’s happening. The top quintile pays 90+% of taxes. Driving them out ultimately means loss of revenue for the state
Cool, let's make every state force these leeches to pay their fair share. Solved.
The top 15% already pay over 97% of tax revenue while the bottom 51% not only pay nothing, many actually make money. So who are the leeches, again?
What percentage of their income do billionaires and corporations pay? The stats you bootlicking self flagellates like to point at mean actually nothing.
More than you. And I’m not a bootlicker, I’m the boot…and I’m tired of the government trying to find ways to take more of my money to give to underachieving losers
Right. So tax the oligarchs enough that they pay what they owe society, and then we can tax regular people less. Solved.
