If you paid more than $1 in taxes last year, you likely paid more in taxes than several dozen of the country’s largest corporations and wealthiest billionaires. I don’t mean a higher effective tax rate - I mean they literally paid $0 in taxes! The basic problem is our tax code pic.x.com/AXsxPDEBT2rial economy. Today, most wealth is generated through ownership of businesses, stocks, real estate, crypto, etc, rather than labor. Those forms of income are often taxed at lower rates on capital gains, or in some cases, can be deferred indefinitely. Meanwhile, working people get hit the hardest. It’s especially bad if you’re self-employed or in the gig economy and get a 1099, because you pay the full 15.3% payroll tax yourself (no employer share). I drove Uber for years and I own my business, so I’ve been there! Meanwhile, many large corporations and literal billionaires pay little or nothing in Federal income tax. We can fix this. Start by simplifying the tax code so it’s harder to game in the first place. Close loopholes that only exist for people at the very top. Move away from income taxes on the middle class so working people keep more of their paycheck. Second, uncap the Social Security tax. Right now, income above $184,500 is exempt (did you know that?), so a teacher or firefighter pays into Social Security on every dollar they earn, but a billionaire stops paying after a few percent. That’s outrageous. Lastly, implement a minimum tax on ultra-high earners so no one is paying a lower effective rate than working people. We should also work with partners in other wealthy countries to crack down on international tax sheltering, profit shifting, and billionaires and multinational corporations moving money around to avoid paying taxes anywhere.
