Fake narrative to justify expropriation: 1% of taxpayers pay ~ half of taxes for SAME services. You want them to pay 110%? 200%?https://twitter.com/B_Ehrenreich/status/931934347699073027 …

I wasn't arguing about changing taxation. Someone commented that the top 1% consume less public services. I think they consume more than their share. Especially tech companies who are building billions of dollars of wealth off of government research effectively given to them
Micah, you equated the rich with the corporations they have shares in. Mark Zuckerberg isn't using 20% of data transferred over the internet and 2% of the electricity. Facebook is. Different.

I'm equating to what they built their wealth off of, and what they are subsequently dependent on to maintain their wealth. Without roads, walmart doesn't exist Without the internet, facebook isn't here etc

So tax Walmart for their road use (which already happens through tolls and gas taxes) and tax facebook for its use of internet infrastructure.
