Today in this country, the top 1% evade an estimated $160 billion in taxes each year. 55 of the most profitable corporations in America pay zero dollars in federal income taxes on $40 billion in profit. It just isn’t right — and my economic plan will change it.
@POTUS Joe Biden has been writing the tax laws for the last 50 years. He doesn’t write these tweets. They look like they go through several stages of authorization before being sent. The top 1% pays 40% of the entire federal income revenue collected.
@MaxMurrayShow @POTUS The only thing that graph shows is that some rich people pay taxes, and the revenue collected from that bracket is enormous compared to the rest of them, which emphasizes a wealth gap. Nothing you said was wrong, but this graph is irrelevant to the argument in discussion.
