>>You aren't paying the3 billionaires portion of the government. In fact the very rich pay a very large share of taxes.<<
but not a share equal to their share of the total wealth - and that is the meaningful point that the manipulative talking points never spoon feed to the masses.
therefore, someone is subsidizing them, although, i admit i haven't figured out if it is me or not. i might be subsidized, too, which is also wrong.
if i own 90% of america and i only pay 80% of the expenses, someone is subsidizing the other 10%.
this is a very basic economic concept.
as for your second argument, i'd argue that 90% of the military supports 90% of the wealth... so even if a dollar isn't going directly to the uber rich, 90% of the money sunk into the military benefits the military is directly protecting their 90%.
as for taxes and income - that doesn't make it right.
you don't think it is fundamentally unfair to expect those who own 90% of america to pay for 90% of government, do you? if so, why, and who should subsidize their portion of government?
so, what is your real world plan to turn the usa into a fiscal responsible nation that pays as it goes and pays down the $9 trillion in debt - especially given you believe things will get even less libertarian.
i must've missed it. |
