I’m old enough to remember spotting Michael Jackson’s first album in an obscure record store in SF and wondering if this guy was any good, and I’ve always knows rich people pay less taxes than working stiffs. In fact, I’m almost certain that’s where the idiom to get stiffed comes from.
I also don’t remember a time when I haven’t thought the next time I come across a rich prick, if he’s enough of a prick, I might just slit his throat for the sheer satisfaction of doing it.
To be fair, the research paper wasn’t asking “who pays less”, it was asking “what are the exact amounts paid”. The news headline then had to dumb it down to “billionaires pay less”.
And that’s news?

i swear these headlines and supposed “studies” are getting dumber and dumber.
