    “The difference in wealth between a surgeon and a billionaire is about one billion dollars, it’s the billionaires that need to pay more taxes, they pay a smaller % than you.”

      How the the story of the nurses who pay more tax than Bezos didn’t result in a landslide for progressives, I’ll never understand.

        More as a percentage* than nurses.

        That’s one of the arguments my dad makes too, depending on the source he pays like 1-2% in taxes on a given year which was over a billion dollars last year.
