Not a surprise, but billionaires aren't paying taxes, including bloomberg and soros

Biden White House yells its illegal to release ppls tax info!

They were all for it with Trump tho

Defenders will say "it's not a surprise we know this is a problem with the tax system"

But this was just another manipulative tactic used to push the masses against Trump, anti trumpers will say "so what cry about it!"

But my point anyway is, omfg look at how easily ppl are being swayed one way or the other smh
I don't quite get your point here. What people would defend this? The Republican party be it through thinktanks and billionaire funded "foundations" have long tried to propagate the idea of Libertarianism, essentially destroying all forms of taxation and social systems.

Trump's first move in office was to ram through a tax break for these very same billionaires

The Democrats to a lesser degree are surely culpable, but such message has never been their focal point or goal.

The reality is this has been a problem for some time now, and should be no surprise to anyone. The same problem exists within Canada as well.

It's no coincidence that government programs and social services have had steady declines over the last decades in terms of quality and accessibility. The rich have essentially systematically strangled the tax system in their favor.

I'll never quite understand how this is not a primary issue for lower/middle class voters on the right -- where as trans people in sports, and critical race theory is.
