The wealthy tax the rest of us. Think about it.

Tax avoidance, subsidies, bailouts, stimuli, etc.

Want to tax the rich? No. They tax you.



That's not taxing us, that's just them (or businesses they, or non-rich people, run) getting some tax relief. They will still be either paying more tax or employing more people or investing in more companies that employ people than I do, that's for sure.


They make us pay for their convenience.

For example, Walmart pays minimum wage and asks employees to use Medicaid while their leadership gets enormously rich.


If you spread that wealth (the non-stocks and shares kind, actual money) per-employee, you will not get very much money. That's why this sort of statement is silly.
