  This is sooo ironic. Like you’re spending money yo avoid being taxed. Just pay the tax.

  People should setup tax fighting and charge them loads and say yes were going to remove this tax but you gotta pay up.

  Reverse mob mentality. You pay the head fee, no guillotine for you this month Mr billionaire

    It’s not ironic, it’s basic math. Based on just the amount the post said he gained, the campaign funding is 1% of what he’d be paying in the tax, even less because that’s not his entire net worth.

    That’s the math you have to consider with all of these counter-campaigns - the money they’re spending will always be less than what they expect to pay, otherwise they’d just pay the tax. That’s always the driving force, regardless of what their smear campaigns say.

      Yeah fair. I was also saying we need to make it so the smear campaign costs so much they might as well pay the tax.

    Cause it’s not about the money. It’s about the power.
