Imagine having so much money that you have the ability to donate $3m in the name of preserving your own wealth. Grotesque inequality isn’t defensible, even among those who merely advocate ’equality of opportunity’ as opposed to absolute equality.

They use every facility tax payers supply to make their billions but never pay their fair share. Without roads airports rail etc they would be broke

The very wealthy complain more than anyone about taxes. It’s pathetic. They barely pay any at all already! How many millions or billions does one person need? Also, theses people use more of everything that taxes pay for, leave more waste, and pollute more with their many cars, boats, & planes.

Peter Thiel the leader of of the antichrist venture capitalist group has donated 3 million to try and stop paying any his tax or for it being used to help normal people but must be used to harm only as that's the devil's way avoid all responsibility pay no tax and make the world a worse place to be

The narrative that billionaires will move to a red state if you tax them is obviously not true. Why else would they literally be funding a war on the leadership in blue states? They want to stay in the blue states cause they like it, and dislike magats as much as anyone. They just don’t want to pay

So instead of actually PAYING taxes, this nimrod would rather fight having to pay taxes at all. So nice being rich and getting tax break after tax break...

Why won't Trump send this bigot, asshole, foreigner back to South Africa? He's a billionaire that fills the Pig's bank acct & he's a white power creep. I'm a white guy but I hate these guys & the Pig recruits these magots.

Paying his fair share would probably be less than all this bribery is costing him. But you'd have to have principles. I guess that's why he is called "filthy" rich.

He stuck $5 billion in penny shares of PayPal before it went public into a tax free Roth with income contribution limits . Google it

We have probably enough evidence at this point that ultra wealth doesn’t bring anything beyond a delusional perspective of the world and sort of instinct to save and invest. No evidence they do anything beyond trying to build more and make influence politics increasingly. No bueno
