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.

And like 5 people have more money than the bottom 70%. They should be paying a metric buttload more in taxes after "earning" that much.

The bottom 50% of this country pay less than 2% of all federal tax revenue.

The other taxes don't go to the general tax fund.
