I love when people show up with the facts. Makes me all tingly. 🥰

@ItsMrsRabbitToU Too bad the "person with the facts" is totally wrong and confused. Its called "income tax" not "wealth tax" She is measuring Elon's tax against his total global net worth, then comparing to "Most US ppl" percentage of their yearly income. At least use the same measure.

@DempseyMjd @ItsMrsRabbitToU The problem with your nit-pick is that US median household net worth is only 2-3x median income. So even if we divide by 4, it still makes his "comparable income" tax rate less than 20%.

@BryKKan @ItsMrsRabbitToU Are you really claiming being off by 4x is a "nit-pick"? And billionaires net worth is usually a much higher multiple of their yearly income making your hand waving even more wrong.

@DempseyMjd @ItsMrsRabbitToU I'm calling your point a nit-pick, because the core question is whether we should credit the moral expectation that billionaires experience the same effective tax BURDEN as everyone else. Even if their math is off, the principle holds that his effective tax rate is LOWER than us

@BryKKan @ItsMrsRabbitToU So wrong. The top 1% paid 46% of all taxes but only earned 26% of all income. And the bottom 50% only paid 2% yet earned 10% of all income. The US tax code is the MOST progressive in the world. Our rich are paying more than their fair share. Facts from:

@DempseyMjd @ItsMrsRabbitToU No, not wrong. Rejecting your base premises. Present income doesn't tell the whole story. However, I can make my point even with your statistics. If top 1% get 26%, then by definition, the remaining 99% can only get 74% of ALL income. (continued...)

@harpua71burner @DempseyMjd @ItsMrsRabbitToU You have yet to offer any basis to support that claim.
