@top_pachuco That's the point. Ironically by calling themselves "ethnically Mexican" people are revealing themselves to be culturally American.

@tooshrill @canderaid Renting out a property needs to be worthwhile compared to selling and investing in something else. If selling and investing in stocks/bonds/gold is better, you don't have anywhere to live.

@SteveSayersOne @DomOfClarkes @lewis_goodall It would be very convenient for me too if the poor shouldered the burden of funding the state. It just seems a bit unfair.

[Dave Cook @DaveCookUK]

@DomOfClarkes @SteveSayersOne @lewis_goodall As a thought experiment - if someone said that I could pay no tax while I'm alive and then pay what I owe when I die. I'd be all for that.

Obviously that's extreme but you can work backwards from there and get to something fairer than the current system.

[Dave Cook @DaveCookUK]

@SteveSayersOne @DomOfClarkes @lewis_goodall Totally agree. So would you be in favour of finding ways to help people keep the money they work for - perhaps by taxing unearned income more to fill the gap?

@MugComics @visualbasic97 They could watch the video to understand but they're having too much fun getting offended

[Dave Cook @DaveCookUK]

@jocelynrache Watch the video. She does a pretty good job

@TXCustodialDad @firasd @MattZeitlin If you want schools and stuff, you need to raise at least some taxes from somewhere. Of the options available, property tax is a pretty good one because land is limited and it's not a disincentive to being productive.

@klng0fn0thing @MarkUltramaga @elonmusk Where's the money coming from if there are no taxes?

[Dave Cook @DaveCookUK]

@elonmusk World's richest man doesn't want to pay taxes... Not the best look

[Dave Cook @DaveCookUK]

@BullMooseMemes @iAnonPatriot Indeed! Down with the military! End social security! Default on the debt! No more USD as a reserve currency!

[Dave Cook @DaveCookUK]

@iAnonPatriot So the richest man in the world doesn't want to pay taxes? Shocking!

[Dave Cook @DaveCookUK]

@savag91165 @iAnonPatriot So no taxes at all? No military? No social security? There would probably be at least a few Americans who wouldn't call that a victory.

[Dave Cook @DaveCookUK]

@MarkUltramaga @elonmusk How is the country supposed to pay back the debt if it can't raise taxes?

[Dave Cook @DaveCookUK]

@BrittanyXVenti @elonmusk What tax do you think there should be instead?

[Dave Cook @DaveCookUK]

@farzyness @elonmusk Deleting 99% of the budget would get rid of Medicare, Medicade, Social Security, and the military. Are you sure?

[Dave Cook @DaveCookUK]

@elonmusk Why oh why would Elon Musk want to defund the IRS... 🤔? Surely the richest man in the world is the best person to set his own taxes? No conflict of interest there.
