I think you're confused. Evading taxes legally is just being smart. The orange buffoon told us that.

Are you giving about 90% of your gross income to liberal causes like global warming, BLM, etc.? If not, why?

America’s richest 400 families pay a lower tax rate than average taxpayer

The wealthiest 400 American families paid an 8.2% average rate on their federal individual income taxes from 2010 to 2018, according to a White House analysis published Thursday.

By comparison, Americans paid an average 13.3% tax rate on their income in 2018, according to a Tax Foundation analysis. (This figure includes all taxpayers, including the wealthiest.)

By comparison, Americans paid an average 13.3% tax rate on their income in 2018, according to a Tax Foundation analysis. (This figure includes all taxpayers, including the wealthiest. It also doesn’t factor annual investment gains, as the White House report does

However, authors’ estimated 8.2% tax rate may not be exact due to “imperfect” data and methods, according to the report. The rate could be as low as 6% and as high as 12%, they said.

The analysis also doesn’t account for taxes like the estate tax, a 40% levy on estates valued over $23.4 million for married couples.

Bitter much? Left Behinder is an anti-democratic, authoritarian fascist, but I have better thigs to do than just call him histrionics like you. Has your approach worked yet? Of course it hasn't.

I am no more anti-democratic than you. You continue to support a President who clearly stated what he was doing was unconstitutional, but that it would take the courts time to rule and in the meantime he would get away with it.

You are also a racist so there is that.

But at the end of the day you are a solid human and I know we would enjoy discussing hockey over drinks.

So the White House uses one set of numbers and compares it to a different set of numbers. They then draw an analysis of these different data sets to further their narrative.

Typical liberal Democrat. Props to MSNBC for pointing it out.

Here is more gold from that article:

However, authors’ estimated 8.2% tax rate may not be exact due to “imperfect” data and methods, according to the report. The rate could be as low as 6% and as high as 12%, they said.

So the richest of the rich despite having more investment income may still pay within 1.3% of the rate of Americans on average.

The analysis also doesn’t account for taxes like the estate tax, a 40% levy on estates valued over $23.4 million for married couples.

And here is yet another piece not accounted for in the study.

Was this article meant to support the liberal position that the rich don’t pay enough or was it to show exactly how the White House is grasping at straws at this point?

Great find though, thanks for posting it.

The debt limit is all about past spending bills. Not tax cuts or increases.

TSA pays an average of $17.25 per hour. I'm sure that there are plenty of equally qualified, vaccinated McDonalds workers who would take the step up if informed of the openings.
