  1. Nothing stops you from making a strawman CEO argument why should anyone else?
  2. Its more nuanced than that, but you already know that.
  3. No, what you're saying is completely false. Forget saying it out loud, even thinking it is ridiculous.
  4. Federal income tax(47%), Payroll tax(34%), Corporate income tax(9%) together account for 90% of ALL the federal tax revenue generated. If you consider the top 10% as "rich", they account for 70% of ALL the federal income tax (47 X 0.7 = 32.9%), half the payroll tax comes from employers AKA the rich according to you (34/2 = 17%), and of course all the corporate income earners (must be) the rich (right?) so 32.9 + 17 + 9 = 60% of all the federal tax revenue comes from the Top 10%. At the very least. They take in 36% of all the income and account for more than 60% of ALL the federal tax revenue. On the federal level, the poor have absofuckinglutely no to very little contribution but extremely high participation when it comes to benefits. So stop with the rhetoric that the rich aren't paying enough or poor aren't getting enough. Its exactly the other way around. But but but no social mobility: 2/3rds of the Forbes 400 are self made entrepreneurs. And oh, you get paid for what value you create, not your time. So the wages reflect the value, not what you or they think they deserve.
  5. Bottom 50% accounts for under 3% of all federal income tax revenue generated. Maybe even less. Poor(to me) would be the bottom 20th percentile, they account for absolutely NOTHING in federal income taxes.

    Tax reform

    So you're upset about someone liquidating their own assets when they pay more taxes than you in pure number and percentage?
  7. On the backs of others? Are these others not getting paid? Do they not come to work willingly? Are they not free to work elsewhere?
