The billionaires claim they will spend the money better than current government does, but how many of them ran for office and proved it?

More people die than ever collect social security.

The amount of benefits you collect doesn’t change based on your income.

Who is “we”?
I guarantee you pay closer to nothing. The bottom 50% of tax fillers pay nothing whatsoever.

> The employer cost is passed on to the employee
Lol what? Employees don’t pay their employers.
I’ll be the first to admit that Social Security is a bad deal for most people, but come on, this is just embarrassing.

The 12.4% income tax rate is for kid’s lemonade stands.
If SHE is paying that low of a rate, I wanna switch out CPA’s!

Stop talking and fix it.

ngl that comparison is almost always apples vs oranges
most people are talking income tax on salary
billionaires often report very little taxable income
their wealth is mostly in assets (stocks, companies)
and those aren’t taxed until they sell
so it looks like “0.0002%”
but it’s more like:
they’re not realizing income the same way
that said… yeah the system definitely favors capital over wages
legal ≠ fair is basically the whole debate here
real issue is how unrealized gains are treated
this is why you keep seeing proposals to change how the ultra-wealthy are taxed

Those earning above million admit the system is broken, but they also feel its working OK for then, so why fix what works?
