The system protects the flow of tax dollars.
Because that's what it consumes to survive.
Then why do billionaires and corporations get so many tax breaks and subsidies while also getting the most protection and favorable legislation?
Because it protects them.
Can you not read?
Right. It protects them, not the flow of tax dollars. This seems to be a difficult concept for you. Maybe Reddit is more your pace.
It protects someone like bezos because he has employees whose income (used to) far outpace what the wealthy would contribute.
So they were (and still are) protected.
Sorry you're having so much trouble with this.
I'm not. I'm just getting a kick out of the unnecessary ad hominem attacks. It makes it your point, well, pointless.
Okay so you're done trying to backpedal being bad at reading. Coolsies. Blocked.
Oh no, not that! 🤣
Well, as long as you mean the flow of tax dollars coming from the poor and middle class. The system specifically protects the corporations and wealthy from paying their share of tax dollars
It protects land owners not renters.
It protects employers not employees.

Bro really failed to read, twice.
bro really bro really'd
You did, homie. That's what's shocking.
