Who the fuck is doing Bill Gates' taxes and how do I get them to do that but on my much more modest income.

Is this an annual tax though? Or, a one time tax? Is it a tax on income or total net worth?

This is a much nicer version of the same meme I put up here last week (not complaining, it really does look nicer).

Nearly all of us pay more than these clowns do, when considering the percent of our incomes. And most of us are losing savings or being forced to budget to the extreme these days.

Fuck the ultra rich that never give back. People like Musk are a fucking scourge to our entire society.

Why such a % difference between Gates (0.3) and Bezos(3)? Is it based on the last year's income?

Is it based on the last year’s income?

Just give their wealth to the workers they exploited to gain it.

How many times a month do we repost this meme and it gets a lot of controversy every single time?

Is it just me or does Bill Gates starting to look more and a more like Stephen Hawking ? 🙃
