Tom Perkins and Self-righteous Gaffer are living together in an apartment. They go to the grocery store. Tom Perkins pays for 99% of the groceries and Self-righteous Gaffer pays for 1% of the groceries. Should Self-righteous Gaffer really get to choose 50% of the food? That doesn't seem fair.
this is the dumbest thing i have read in a while.
billionaries don't pay 99% of taxes already thanks to tax breaks, offshore bank accounts and other shelters for their income. second, a tax on a billionaire's income is a much smaller percentage of that income than the average american.
what the fuck are groceries supposed to be analogous to, anyway?
