I thought you would have realized it by now, taxes don't really affect billionaires. There are so many workarounds for people with that kind of money. Billionaires pay very little tax. We are the ones who are constantly footing the bill, it's the little guy and the affluent, but not rich guys who pays taxes.

Was tongue in cheek, no need for the soapbox or condescension.

Would be interesting to know what the criteria were (1) for selecting the billionaires to-be-asked, and (2) for their selections.

When Trump was prez, he lowered the taxes of the huge corp and billionaires and promises to do more lowering if they contribute to his re-election....the rich just get richer while the middle class becomes the lower class and cannot even afford to buy a house anymore in the US.  Not sure what it is like in the rest of the world.

the middle class was but a fluke in time. a blip in history that is currently being rectified.
