The truly rich don’t pay any taxes, all their money is safely parked in tax free assets, like municipal bonds. Anyone who thinks a really rich person will pay significant taxes is not informed about the way things really work. The “rich” in this instance are what the Democrats call anyone who makes over $100,000. The pathetic thing is there are many people who truly believe $100,000 is a wealthy person.

Ironic that that Billionaire Left thinks that other poorer “wealthy” people aren’t paying their share while these rich anticapitalists still employ tax shelters for their vast wealth.
Anytime a stock is bought or sold there is an “SEC” tax on it.
LOL, these are probably the same morons who always seemed to find "kick me" signs taped to their backs in high school. Apparently they liked it so much they are now sticking those signs on their OWN backs.
The rich actually think that the government can guarantee their wealth. But if not, they will take their money to safe havens, like Switizerland.

Yet here’s something they’ll never understand...living a life of principle has made me truly wealthy, even beyond their wildest dreams. True wealth is not about power or green paper ($) or political gain. True wealth is readily apparent to those who possess it and an enigma to those who misunderstand it. Those with true wealth willingly share it with anyone who asks. Those who misunderstand it contrive ways to assuage their guilt.
