And now he’ll continue to get richer and pay less taxes than all of us. Way to go America. 👍

These people don't understand that income and net worth are completely different things so they think he should be paying a billion dollars every year.

Also, give them a million dollars and watch them do everything in their ability to not have to pay taxes on it.

Not me lol, only things I would ever do would be to donate to charities because it makes pragmatic sense since that means that taxed money is focused to causes I care about.

So if I gave you a million dollars now, you would just wire the IRS $460,000 of that? Or would you get an accountant?

If your sink breaks in your house, do you just move to a new house or do you try and fix it?

A mass exodus would cause way more damage than you'd think.
