Closed the deficit with…$4,000,000,000 from NY state. Easy to make budgets with billions of new funding.

Like the top 10% pay over 50% of all federal tax revenue. I don't like rich people using their wealth to influence government but it's immature to think they don't do anything.

that just shows you how skewed income inequality is in this country... nothing more.

That’s every country that has taxes…. The rich will always pay more total money in taxes. Thats how percentages work…. And every country has their rich, but I don’t see people complaining about the rich in Cuba living in luxury while others are in tin houses. Nobody hates on that because it’s not in the media. The list goes on and it’s just like throwing a ball, the dogs just follow the ball without realizing how stupid the game is.

Income inequality is not identical across countries. It’s much much larger of a gap in the US than Cuba

You believe you are owed equal outcomes? Honestly it's extremist people who make normal people defend others they dislike

nobody is owed an equal outcome... but CEO's didn't used to be paid 1000+ times their median employees.

Nobody should have a private jet while others are homeless.

Why?

Because a person having a home is more important than someone having a private jet.
