A teacher earning $60k pays 20 to 30% in federal income and payroll taxes. The 25 richest Americans paid a true rate of 3.4% from 2014 to 2018. The tax code is not failing. It is working exactly as designed, for those who designed it.

The Senate election in Ohio: 14 times Jon Husted (R) voted for the war in Iran that’s led to rising prices on diesel, fertilizer, gas, and food; he voted to cut taxes for billionaires, and in favor of big banks, insurance companies, drug companies, and big corporations. Trump lackey all the way.
