How the the story of the nurses who pay more tax than Bezos didn’t result in a landslide for progressives, I’ll never understand.

More as a percentage* than nurses.

That’s one of the arguments my dad makes too, depending on the source he pays like 1-2% in taxes on a given year which was over a billion dollars last year.

Which is hilarious. That percentage should be around 40-50% if not more.
