Socialists keep saying "the rich don't pay their fair share in taxes." Charles Payne just ran the actual numbers and ENDED their narrative in under 2 minutes.

The top 1% pay roughly 40% of federal income taxes while earning about 22% of the income.

The top 10% (the entrepreneurs and small business owners putting in 60-hour weeks) pay over 70% of the total taxes.

If we were to tax people based on how much they use services, the top earners would be paying close to ZERO.

PAYNE: "Be thankful we live in a country that's as progressive as it is because it's a pretty good balance right now."

FUN FACT: Elizabeth Warren called Elon Musk a "freeloader" in 2021 and said we have to "change the rigged tax code so The Person of the Year will actually pay taxes."

Musk replied: "If you opened your eyes for 2 seconds, you would realize I will pay more taxes than any American in history this year."

Musk paid $11,000,000,000 that year in taxes.

Venezuela used to be much wealthier than Poland, which was suffering under socialism. Then Poland implemented free-market and capitalist principles and enjoyed an economic boom.

Venezuela chose socialism, which brought poverty and misery to its people.

That’s the difference.

You guys keep telling me I’m too paranoid about losing free speech.

But I’m telling you: You’re not nearly paranoid enough.

Hey, you guys remember that time Mizzou beat #7 Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl?

Eli Drinkwitz in the #CottonBowl celebration:

“We’re not bluebloods, we’re dirty, hardworking brotherhood that loves each other and fights for each other.”

“We’re faster, stronger, tougher than you in the 4th quarter.”

“What the FTC is doing here is imposing a tax on merging parties in the United States,” said @AmandaWait. “They are taking the vast number of transactions that don’t create any antitrust issues whatsoever and imposing significant costs on those parties.”👎👎👎☹️☹️☹️

To haters of capitalism, know this:  in 1956 it took 217 hours of work (at avg blue collar wages) to buy a refrigerator.

Today it takes 16 hours!

Happy for Jeriah. It’s been a rough year for Tulsa, but this makes it a little better.

When Yeltsin came to America, he was amazed at our supermarkets.

Now, Biden wants Russian bread-lines instead. 🤷🏻‍♂️
