Someone PLEASE tell this womanπ€¦π€¦π€¦
They don't believe anyone under a certain income pays taxes. "Taxpayer" just means "upper income tax bracket" in their mind.

"employers and taxpayers" is like "job creators".
They don't want to say "the ultra wealthy" because that would be too accurate for the owner of the site, who is an ultra wealthy person.
It's so backwards too, since the ultra wealthy are the ones who most dodge paying their fair share of taxes.
"The media" love nothing more than to find the absolute most disgusting scum in our country and interview them for their opinions...
Outrage generates clicks, clicks generate revenue.
We're both here because we're disgusted by the headline so it obviously works.
While generally true, I think "the media" does what I mentioned in order to "manufacture consent" in cases like this. They want to create the image of what is "real" and what "people you should believe" think. God forbid you should think for yourself and agree with a spooky spooky socialist, no no we need to make you afraid of him! We need you to believe that only "freeloaders" vote for him and "real taxpayers" will be hurt by him!

I am tired of the boomer narrative of that it's always those "young people" ruining everything. Oldest millennials are now in their mid-40's. Or even worse, the youngest gen-z people are almost 18 now. These people have been paying their taxes for years on end now.
The only terrified people in this scenario are the literal parasites who don't pay anything, through loopholes and theft
The lone defender of the billionaires at this point says everything we need to know

I appreciate that they say that employers don't pay taxes.
That's an interesting way of phrasing "has actively enabled corruption for decades".
nah it terrifies tax dodgers and leeches of society
