Their taxation rate is like 39% tho.

Therefor, in order for Billionaires to pay their fair share ... (39/8.2... x39). Billionaires need to be taxed185% of their income just to be fair

...

Math not to scale

Except the 39% is in consideration of how much actually stays as income. 8.2% of 1 billion is vastly more than your entire value as a human, it's plenty of comp.

Income is not what we should be focusing on when it comes to the wealthiest people in the world.

Especially not when the concept of "income" is defined incredibly narrowly by tax codes that totally weren't influenced by the same billionaires that mysteriously manage to amass wealth several orders of magnitude faster than their "income" would suggest.

Not "the news," the Biden Administration. They're just parroting his lies.

And this is where you know it's 100% fucking bullshit:


The analysis estimated billionaires paid 8.2% of their income between 2010 and 2018, including on forms of income that go largely untaxed lower than the rates paid by most Americans. It notes in that final year of analysis, those families had at least $2.1 billion in wealth

Namely they're not really looking at income at all.
