@NPR Paid taxes they owed? Like are you accusing them of tax fraud?

@MadPhysiologist @michaelhepworth @NPR Stop worrying about the wealthy and start worrying about the people your party constantly paints as a victim, they are parasites. The top 40% pay ALL OF THIS COUNTRYS TAXES 🤡

@jstackjstack @MadPhysiologist @michaelhepworth @NPR Yes, that’s the system we’ve built after the theft of Black capital from lynching, farmland, redlining, community destruction. Ya know, the symptom of structural racism. No taxes are owed when you have no money.
