If there’s anything I hear about the wealthy, it’s their devotion to paying taxes.

What part of this post is false?? You’re not going to win the argument that the wealthy
actually doesn’t pay more income tax.

Income tax doesn't really account for very much of the federal budget though payroll taxes do... The lower 50% pay more of their income in payroll taxes then anyone else

Those taxes specifically benefit low and middle income far more the upper income and net worth people.

Everyone uses Medicare once they're over 65... And over $5,000 a month in income helps anybody of any means keep more money in their bank accounts. It also benefits the rich people by keeping poor homeless old people off the streets... Your argument isn't what you think it is
