Your statement implies that the top 1% pay 42% of all taxes, which is untrue. When called out on your lie of omission you cried like a bitch and tried to shift the goalposts to seem like you didnât lie.

The comment I replied to said the rich donât pay taxes. What was important is that the rich pay a lot of taxes. I forgot a word and when it was pointed out I told them it was a fair correction.
Their analysis counted all federal receipts. 13% of federal tax receipts were corporate taxes. So they implied that the rich pay less than they do of all federal receipts and I was curious if they would respond to me asking.
No goalpost shift. The point was the rich pay taxes. They reminded me I forgot a word and I accepted the correction like an adult.
You people are fucking wild.

You accepted the correction and then added your own edit asking about corporate taxes - the implication being that person who corrected you isnât being honest. Projection.

No. They counted 1% income tax liability vs total federal receipts and I was curious if they considered that. Itâs a separate issue. My point was rich people pay taxes, and they do. A lot of taxes.
You fuckinâ kids are something else.
