  1. Frank Sclafani the top 1% pay more tax than the bottom 90%. They pay their “fair share” no matter how you twist it

  2. Frank Sclafani because corporations get tax deductions from carryover losses, worker and asset compensation, ect. It may sound bad - but it encourages those corporations to continue to invest in the us, improving the economy and continuing to pay taxes in the future.

  3. Even if it was a good idea (it’s not, it would mean people would move their money out of the US, and pay taxes there, while not investing in the us itself) it’s extremely unconstitutional. Under the 5th amendment: “nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation”. Money is private property, and to tax the wealthy you would be taking it away without compensation. Income tax is fine, wealth tax is not.

  4. Frank Sclafani honestly haven’t watched a Minecraft video in years, however thanks for pointing out my privacy issues. Feel free to say that the rich don’t pay tax, just remember that the stats don’t agree.

  5. Frank Sclafani and you can’t complain about payroll tax anymore, trumps getting rid of it. Oh wait... orange man bad. Payroll tax must be good now.

  6. America pays more unemployment benefits than ANY OTHER COUNTRY. The us gives $600 a week to anyone out of job due to COVID, that’s $2400 a month - much higher than any other country.

  8. Andrew Zembar the government is paying off all coronavirus medical bills, and the unemployed are covered by Medicare anyway. And I can tell you for a fact that no county has a unemployment benefit like the us. My country, Australia, has had well over a million lose their job permanently. They are covered by Medicare, but are entitled to only $1200 AUD a month - just over $850 a month USD.

  10. fliegeroh they are getting paid back every year. 11% of the us budget is spent on interest. Now what the us needs is to cut taxes, push investment. Get back jobs. And once that happens, then you can talk about balancing the budget
