    The comment I replied to said the rich don’t pay taxes. What was important is that the rich pay a lot of taxes. I forgot a word and when it was pointed out I told them it was a fair correction.

    Their analysis counted all federal receipts. 13% of federal tax receipts were corporate taxes. So they implied that the rich pay less than they do of all federal receipts and I was curious if they would respond to me asking.

    No goalpost shift. The point was the rich pay taxes. They reminded me I forgot a word and I accepted the correction like an adult.

    You people are fucking wild.

      You accepted the correction and then added your own edit asking about corporate taxes - the implication being that person who corrected you isn’t being honest. Projection.

        No. They counted 1% income tax liability vs total federal receipts and I was curious if they considered that. It’s a separate issue. My point was rich people pay taxes, and they do. A lot of taxes.

        You fuckin’ kids are something else.
