Who else finds it pathetic that Republicans are complaining about taxing the rich to pay for infrastructure and other public needs ?

Update:

President biden's tax plan is designed to tax the individuals making $400,000 and more now I don't know based off of what your current income is but if you're making $400,000 or more you're concerned rich

Update 2:

Any logical person would notice that when we want the rich to pay more we want them to pay a higher percentage. If individuals in a lower tax bracket or text at 10% based off of their income it's only just that an individual higher tax bracket pays 10% based off of their income

    You have been Brain Washed and played the fool !

    No one is mad about Taxing "The Rich" !!!!

    All Good Smart Americans are mad that our Government is finding ways to exccessivly Oppress people !

    A (bad) Rich Person  can pay more in Taxes in 1 year, than most people pay in thier life time !!!!  

    How many hours of YOUR Work day should go to Govenment ????

    1 out of 8 ?  4 out of 8 , 7 out of 8 ? .....

    Well what ever you think is good for YOU ,  everyone else should get the same !

    If you had a brain you would figure out that a "Fair" Tax rate would be if EVERY  AMERICA ADULT paid say $2,000 a year in Taxes ! ......

    Yet you Libs/DEM's want to punish Americans who are successful and Tax them more percentage wise!

    $400,000 isn't rich.  I mean Fauci makes more than that just for heading up the COVID-19 response.

    Would you not complain if someone forcibly took your money for them to spend?  The problem is politicians have misspent your money to keep themselves in power, so there is little money left for legitimate needs.  The statistics show that the upper 50% of wage earners already bear the tax burden.  If you earn $100 and I earn $1000, you pay 10% in taxes and I pay 5%, you are paying $10 to my $50.  I am paying 5 times more taxes than you.  However, the politicians want to tell you you are paying more than the rich because you have a higher percentage rate.  This is political propaganda to buy your vote.

    If you think it's only the rich who are going to see their taxes skyrocket, you're fooling yourself.
