We tax income, not "wealth growth."

Buffet: 18.9%
Bezos: 23%
Bloomberg: 29.2%
Musk: 35.7%

Buffet has been a tax dodging Obama lover for years. Screw him

What were we saying about the rich paying more then their share of taxes?
All of that is unrealized capital gains. Do you really want those taxed? I don't

This table on tax percentages is complete misrepresentation. We don't have a wealth tax we have an income tax. On that basis, only Bloomberg is the piker.

Buffett 19% of income paid in taxes.
Bezos 23% "
Bloomberg 2.9% "
Musk 29.9% "

2.9% not 29% for Bloomberg

Sorry for repeat but I think Bloomberg is 2.9% not 29%. Others same as previous message.
