    Sure but you take 3% out of my $10 and I have $9.70.

    But take 15% out of your $100 and you still have $85.

    They can pay their taxes.

      Thats false equivalency. Billions is the larger number and since a billion is 1000x a million, it would be 3% of their $10000 and 15% of your $10. So its their $300 tax vs your $1.50 tax. Sure they are still better off, however (un)fair that may be, but it was more in tax than you actually hold, by a wide margin.

      Or course we could, and should, argue it should be reveresed, but thats just yelling in to the wind at this point.

        Yes, I know that’s the way it is, but the leeches should pay their fucking taxes.

        Yet when we pay income tax, we pay more when we make more money.

        It’s not false equivalency, it’s math.
