I actually agree that they should pay the same tax rate as anyone else in the top tax bracket. No special treatment for people. I’m still against socialism and I don’t feel entitled to anyone else’s money - this is just a fairness issue for me. If you’re in the top tax bracket, you pay the top tax bracket - very black and white.
So for example:
For single filers: The 37% rate applies to taxable income over $626,350.
This is how much Bezos and Elon should be taxed on their income. The same as any other American human making over $626k
I haven't looked into it, but have you documented that they aren't?
When you are a business you file business tax returns. There are 1000000000000000000000000000000s of things you can claim as a loss, depreciation, cost, etc. None of that gets taxed, ya know.
If you REALLY want them to feel the hurt, you'd have to change how the IRS reviews taxes, and that'd screw over the small people, too.
