It would be interesting to know how much these greedy bastards pay in tax! In countries like the USA and UK, jumbo earners -like these greedy pigs- pay a higher rate of tax (up to 40% above a certain threshold). I think the Obamas paid up to 17% tax on their income for last year. Imagine how much revenue this country could earn yearly if the gov't taxes the rich properly on assets like mansions, 2nd homes, luxury vehicles and private jets, while setting a higher income tax rate for high earners. 1 Like |
