“Any one may so arrange his affairs that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which will best pay the Treasury; there is not even a patriotic duty to increase one’s taxes.”

Judge Learned Hand, Helvering v. Gregory, 69 F.2d 809, 810-11 (2d Cir. 1934).

Joey can be unselfish and give all his wealth away.

He is a worthless oxygen thief. Typical liberal.

Me too. Color me selfish, but it’s fine with me, if Sleepy Joe pays more in taxes, I just don’t want to. 😁

Another ‘if you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black’ moment?
Ultimatums are for thugs and punks - both fit BidenIdiot nicely.

I wonder if Farting Joe Alzheimers and Junior paid taxes on the bribes they got from China and Ukraine? Or was it like John Kerry storing his yacht in Rhode Island or Toilet Pritzker avoiding taxes on his home in Chicago?

Yes, because taking more money from taxpayers has proven over 50-60 years that it takes care of the “poor.”

FU JB!

Eff right off joe. The most greedy and stingy people on earth are politicians. Time is WAY past for ANY of them to lecture US about paying more. Missed your moment, as usual, you senile old coot.

Maybe it’s time to change up the “flavor” of those tide pods you’re eating, Joe. The “increase taxes” scent just ain’t working for you.

It’s selfish to want to keep your own money. But noble to want to rob others.
We live in a time when good is evil and evil good.

Slo Joe has discovered that economic growth is important if one wants to increase economic opportunity. A lifetime of public “service” and he’s still learning … color me impressed. Of course, his only specific proposal for enhancing economic growth is to raise taxes, so he’s still in the slow learner class.

Making people poor by taxation is noble if you’re a Democrat. And starving to pay your taxes is an honor. Got it. So how are Biden and Pelosi sacrificing for the poor?

Tell Joe to give the gov’t. all his ill-gotten Ukrainian money. He can certainly spare it and no one will stop him from handing it over!😊
