    Brian Klaas Retweeted Donald Trump Jr.

    Biden wants to raise taxes on Americans who make more than $400,000 a year. (And as you might have guessed, 82% of Americans do not make $400,000 a year, so this is a lie).https://twitter.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/status/1301220324634173441 …

        It's almost as if when 82% of one's family and friends make more than $400k a year that tends to warp one's perception.

        I would that number would be much higher. More like 100% of his family and friends make more. Maybe they don't all claim that much, but....

        @DonaldJTrumpJr isn’t very good at basic math & percentages. Shocker. 🙄 Apple doesn’t fall far from the shitty tree!

        82%? Lol. That is understating things considerably. It's like 1%.

        Y'all do realize he's going to have to do MORE than just that right? Taxes will be raised on other shit, as well as a bunch of over things. There is no way that alone will pay for his Green New Deal. 50 to 93 trillion in the decade. Yeah, good luck on that.

        The percentage of Americans making less than 400K is closer to 99.6% using AGI as a metric.

        Trump maf for you...that imputes that 100% - 99.6% = 0.4% of Americans clear the $400K per annum threshold.
