Yeah—That’s the way it works.
Same with taxes.
Try reading Thomas Sowell.
Isn’t that the saddest part. He’s been explaining this ad nauseum for decades. The man is amazing and has a way of explaining all of it in the easiest of terms.
These clowns like AOC, the rest of the Squad and Sanders are so dumb it makes me cringe. They’re supposedly so smart but they and their socialist, liberal hipster minions don’t have the slightest idea of how the tax code works and how those 70,000+ pages only help companies and the uber wealthy avoid paying them altogether.
And sadly, even if you were to sit a roomful of them down and explain to them how Amazon, GE, and so many other companies don’t pay a dime in taxes, they still wouldn’t understand/accept it and they’d demand they all pay more.
Same would go if you sat them down and explained to them how guys like Buffett and all those super, high net worth folks live their lives. They’d get mad, demand that they pay more, but still wouldn’t have the most basic understanding of how and why these folks do what they do.
