This Labor Day, let’s remember that nurses, firefighters, machinists, and police officers should not be taxed at a higher percentage than billionaires.

How about millionaires, like you, Ro?

Reminder: they aren’t. Billionaires already face higher federal income-tax rates than ordinary wage earners and pay a vastly disproportionate share of federal income taxes. Ro knows the trick: compare workers’ taxes on income to billionaires’ largely unrealized wealth, call it a “tax rate,” and hope nobody notices the bait-and-switch. Shameless class-war grifting dressed up as concern for workers.

No mention of taxing millionaires though?👌

Repeal the income tax and stop stealing our labor. God bless.

"IRS data and fact-checks of the same talking point (used by Harris, Biden, and others) show middle-income households in those occupations usually face effective federal rates in the mid-single to low-teens percent, while high reported incomes face higher rates"

Let's remember that they aren't and that you are a fraud.

Any good stock tips for the week?

Didn't you vote to shut down the government?

Let’s remember that congressmen who shield assets like golf courses in trusts for their children should not be lecturing taxpayers on fairness. Pay your fair share, Ro, before you take from anyone else.

Quick background info on Rep. Ro Khanna ⤵️

Ro Khanna must have an army of assistants to post such class animosity junk. Sure, some billionaires should pay more, but this post implies that all those with big money aren't paying their fair share. Fact: the top 1% of taxpayers paid more tax than the bottom 90% combined.

Why do you only go after billionaires? I say we go after people who have a hundred million plus. Minor kids that own three golf courses should be taxed at a 90% tax rate.

Last year was paid 40% of my income yet still had to outfit a purification system in my water out of my own pocket because the public water is so contaminated I also needed to, out if my own pocket, fix several potholes outside my home If taxes aren’t used to pay for what we are being told why is anyone being taxed at all Stop the charade or stop taxing us, thief

Everybody should be taxed at 0%.

Yes! For people that Actually have Jobs and Work! Something that you and your Voters know nothing about!

3 of the 4 vocations you listed are VERY LUCRATIVE. Police and fire are nearly always at the top of the highest paid municipal workers lists. Do you even know that??? Did you even know a Nurse Anesthetist at taxpayer-funded Alameda Health System makes >$700,000/year???

Ro CON MAN. Is a socialist who loves protecting criminals and illegals. He Hates America

Fake Outrage/Tired Trope #2011 The top 1% of U.S. income earners pay 38.4% to 40.4% of all federal individual income taxes, To put that in perspective, the top 1% (about 1.5 million tax returns) pays roughly the same amount in federal income taxes as the bottom 95% of the country combined. The top 10% of U.S. income earners pay about 71% to 72% of all federal income taxes, according to recent IRS Share of Total Income: The top 10% earn roughly 49.4% of all adjusted gross income in the United States. The bottom 50% of U.S. income earners pay roughly 2.3% to 3.3% of all federal individual income taxes Primary cause of the driver of inflation and sole cause of creating a massive tax and national debt burden on the US middle class taxpayer: 100% Congressional wasteful/fraudulent spending.

Since you do no work, you and crew are all useless-And take what’s ours. Go fuck yourself.

Seems like a penalty for providing thousands of jobs and creating products that improve the lives of Americans...unlike you, Ro Khanna. Stop focusing on wealthy people that have earned their own money and donate your millions.

Well, how about you practice what you preach. Since you have hundreds of millions of dollars, why dont you buy me a house? Show that you really want the elites to help people.

Exactly, according to Democrats, everyone should just surrender everything they have to the government. That would be "fair". 🙄 Don't worry, because in exchange the government will give you cars that monitor you, drones to follow you, and AI to censor you, to keep you "safe".

On this labor day you're still trying to defund ICE. Ordinary Americans are taxed high because of people like you.

If you have money to hide the fact that you put in your minor children to invest in golf courses then you can afford to pay higher taxes

You're worth over $230 Million. Why aren't you paying your fair share?

This is of course true. But it's also just a talking point to win votes when you say it this way. The effective tax rate of people who invest is, in some cases, lower because of the investment. That is something rational and good for all Americans, and you should say as a Democrat. We need Democrats who want to give every kid a reasonable chance to be a billionaire on his or her effort, and to inspire them to do so.

Eliminate the income tax.

Per Bessant … Eliminate fraud and abuse in the government and no one under 600k needs to pay federal income tax Start there … clean up your own house before going after others

You're lying; billionaires already pay a far higher tax rate. Your economic illiteracy is always impressive.

But you idiots do it anyway. Don't believe a word this communist is saying. They will tax you more. They say taxing billionaires more will solve our problems with the cost of living and inflation. Wrong!! The millionaires and billionaires that run companies will hire fewer people. They will find another country to build their products. This is how it works, kids. The government just wants to steamroll the middle class into more taxes.

Nurses, firefighters, machinists & police depend on their pensions which are invested in the booming stock market. Kill company incentives. Kill the golden goose. Kill their income.

Tells us what the Democrats did for the people who were born in the United States while Biden was in office!

nurses, firefighters, machinists, and police officers could never dream of making it through the rigged system that enriched your family trust. You are the biggest buffoon in American politics

Nurses, firefighters, machinist, and police officers can't afford to golf at the 3 golf course your 5 & 6 year old kids own a major stake in. They make millions a year off these courses, charge $35k a year and up, while the workers get paid minimum wage or just barely above it.
