The same could be said for the wealthy! Lol how much is enough? You can't take it with you. Your soul has been sold, and all the stuff you can ever buy is bought.....how much is enough before people, other people matter?
Actually, with leftists like her, the 'rich' are defined as anyone who makes more money than she does. And those people need to have their taxes increased.
The answer is actually complex, not a number. You could tax the top 1% 100% of their income and hardly make a dent covering the national budget. The root of the problem is loopholes and exemptions. For example, for one year Elon Musk paid $22 Billion in taxes. He doesn't pay that much every year due to exemptions. Fair enough. But that is more from one man than the lower 10% combined. Yet he only has available the same rights and privileges as any other American. Is that fair?
The House & Senate rules on these hearings need to change. When someone rambles on without answering the question asked, that member of Congress should get that time back.
Agreed, they should also be forced to answer when asked “yes” or “no”. If they refuse to also answer questions, then they should be held in contempt and jailed until they are willing to answer questions.
@Joe O'Neill Just file a request for the charge of contempt of Congress with the DoJ. Bury Garland under a mountain of charge requests. Force the issue.
Or they answer a question by making a guess (which is what the gentlelady was asking for) then that guess is used as a weapon for ever more. Ms Young was trying to make clear - there isn't a number to give because they don't know the rate of GDP yet. So not stupidity - these people are genuinely at the top of their profession - it's protection from right-wing spin.
The reason being that wealth inequality is so appallingly skewed that wealth is concentrated in a very small sub-strata, and the system, allows them to game the system in their favour to evade tax. What is actually being asked for is that the wealthy pay a %age similar to those who earn regular money, and then a bit more. the fact they earn massive amounts compared to the average is a reflection of the inadequacy of the system to balance financial equality. This is why theyir relative contribution by %age looks so high. Their relative contribution in terms of their earnings isn't given what one needs to live comfortably.

Is it (and I'm asking for a numeric number) is it 78, 92, 104 ...?" Maybe the answer would be: "We aren't interested in that number. We are interested in what percentage of the wealth received by each individual or corporation ends up contributing to government. If somebody receives $100 million in a tax year and contributes 8% of that to government, while somebody who receives $100,000 in the same tax year contributes 16% of that much smaller amount, maybe there's an issue we need to fix."

It's apparent that "the fair share" isn't related to the revenue derived from income taxes, it's how much should earners be penalized for their productivity.
Let's not forget that Biden uses a shell company (a pass through company) to recieve his fees from speaking engagements, books, and so on. He does this so he can take the majority of that money as a qualified dividends at 12 or 15 percent instead of as income at 37ish percent. He also avoids some employment related taxes on it at both the federal level and state or local levels. Maybe he should pay his fair share first.
Yes, and you can see that with the local city governments ruining cities such as Philadelphia, Chicago, New York, St. Louis, Detroit, Kansas City, Memphis. Common denominator? Democrats.

A better rule would be to apply your punishment to anyone in Congress who tries to deflect and keep their corruption & misinformation hidden when asking ridiculous questions. She the "gentle lady" tried to speak over her explanation of why there was not a direct answer for her. She tried to speak over the fact that the wealthy pay less than most middle class in taxes. Letting her speak would reveal the truth of the matter. Which is the wealthy pay almost nothing and get away the absolute most. It's just so blatantly in our face right now and it must change.
They should be held in contempt of court until they answer the questions. Maybe a few days in lockup will help them prepare for their job before coming to these senate hearings. If they don’t show up. Send a warrant out for them. Pick them up, and make them answer. They either answer, or spend a few days in jail. Simple. No more “I will have to get back to you. I don’t have those numbers right now.” No, instant contempt of court. I bet they will have answers from then on out.
What someone is worth should not matter. I know someone who inherited a little over 3 million dollars almost 40 years ago. That person has used very little of it. Taxes are paid any time money is drawn out. So why should taxes be paid on volume and be taxed when withdrawn ?
I give Shalanda credit at least for not saying the most irritating and usless thing: "Thank you for the question". With her answer evasion skills I'm quite sure 'she'll land a' well paying job in the private sector, where she can pay her fair share.

@jenkinsk1014 Young is definite Proof of That! She has such Glaring Disrespect for the opportunity to Speak in front on Congress, The Moron Shows up wearing a Flannel Shirt! That's the First sign of Incompetence right off the Bat!
Who decides who will be invited to speak before Congress and are these people chosen based on their knowledge of whatever subject Congress has scheduled to discuss that day? I ask because I watch these videos and no one EVER seems to answer what sounds like a reasonable, common sense question. Yet we keep doing the same thing, expecting different results. I love the Matt Gaetz approach which is to simply ask ALL the people before him on a given day, he simply asks the group as a whole if anyone has any firsthand knowledge of the subject to raise their hands.
its not like these people are being hand picked because they know they cant answer the questions they are brought in to answer because they are at the moment they are the heads of their fields and so are the only people to get said answers from
@63grandsport11 Same Difference really! The Democrat Party has Obviously been Hijacked by The CPUSA! It's Glaring, especially since the CPUSA doesn't even exist any longer, because they've been allowed to move to a bigger Party.
I agree, most of the democrats don't seem to answer any questions, but she did answer the question. If you didn't hear the answer then you weren't listening in the first place.
She talks about making large corporations pay their "fair share". No matter how much you tax a large corporation it will NEVER pay its "fair share" because all it does is hand off its tax liabilities to its customers, its employees and its share holders. The answer is not MORE taxes. The answer is LESS spending. It's as plain and simple as that!
Exactly. The shift of corporate taxes to the consumer is so obvious even a simpleton on the Left could understand it, but their head-in-the-sand approach to practical matters doesn't allow for facts.
Everything is taxed.... Keep your wealth around to be invested? Taxed. Buy items in order to actually go about your life? Taxed. Work? Income is taxed. Literally every step of modern life is taxed, and we are supposed to be happy about it....
So because someone has worked hard and become rich due to their hard work they should pay to support more people who don't want to work hard? That's not how this works
No matter what, it'll never be enough. We will always need money for very important studies such as "how much cocaine does a porcupine need to run 7 mph as to just 5 mph" . We really need these very important studies to keep the world from overheating
I used to work with a person like this who graduated with a degree in English poetry and was running our company. We could never move forward and there was no accountability on that persons part. It was when an investigation came to that person where company funds were being misappropriated to fund a poetry slam outside the scope of our manufacturing company. Once exposed the resignation came like bolt of lightning. They got caught in their stupidity.
My personal income tax in 2015 was 15%. Since then it has risen to 24% as of 2021. My 2 ageing vehicles are taxed at higher and higher each year, my real estate taxes rise on a regular basis along with my homeowners and auto insurance. I figure groceries are up about 15.5% to 19.5% and rising. Health insurance is totally out of control while quality of medical care has dropped. All of this on a single income plus soc security. And the rich are paying 8%? Corporate right offs are worse, and let us not forget foreign aid, REALLY! So you want me to support your government? Yes your government not mine. A wise old country neighbor we had as I was growing up gave me some advice about if a man had a good dog, a good gun and a good pickup he has just about all he needed, should have listened.
I've got news for the whole country, the Federal government was only created to govern over the foreign affairs of the country! The executive branch is only law enforcement, laws concerning the foreign affairs of the country. The representatives are only to create the laws necessary for governing over the foreign affairs of the country. The Senate is to represent the State governments concerning Federal government appointments, etc., which only concern the Federal government. The Senate represents the State governments. The Representatives represent the people in the States concerning foreign affairs of the country. The ignorance of the reason for the Federal government in our country is unmitigated, let me say it again, the IGNORANCE OF THE REASON FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN OUR COUNTRY IS unmitigated!!! Wow!!
Can diversity ever mean a simple answer to a simple question? Why should a person who was ELECTED by the masses have to put up with ignorance from someone that was gifted a position based on her political views only? Don't apologize just tell them to answer the question so we can see their narrow view of our country and tax system.
DON’T YOU JUST LOVE IT WHEN YOURE Told you are asking the wrong question or that someone doesn’t agree with the way you’re asking a question just to avoid telling the truth!?

Why won't someone just say what we all know is the goal - they want the rich to pay EVERYTHING and the lower class to pay nothing so we can continue to let the rest of us to pay them to remain poor with no responsibility to contribute to society.
In a nation where 10% of the people pay 75% of the taxes, I hate to break it to you, but you *are* the lower class. You are the one paying nothing (at least relatively) so you can continue to let the rich pay you to remain poor with no responsibility to contribute to society. Still feel like that's an accurate description of the situation?
@@Ryan-zv6xw True enough... the disappointing part is that 75% of the taxes are paying for programs most of us don't need or want. If we eliminated Gov't waste, or asked EVERYONE to pay their "fair share," there would be no need to steal money from anyone through taxation. No matter how you dice it - there's nothing fair about the imbalance in tax burdens spread across our populous.
@@MrTycobb25 Oh, it's even worse than that. So much of government expenditure supports the upper middle class and lower upper class. So if you look at the Ukraine tens of billions -- I support Ukraine self-rule, but our "help" is us paying our own companies to make arms to send there, the money is for our armament companies first, their freedom second. More people work for governments now than work in manufacturing, agriculture, and I believe construction combined. At least one in every hundred working Americans works for a school system. So we are printing, taking, and borrowing money to pay people to get richer than many of them should and then taxing them to give social benefits to people we keep poor by handing out food stamps and free medical care so they'll be willing to work for wages below their worth. It's a huge shell game and the most important thing is the government gets to be the one that hands out the money, so they keep power over all of us.

These hearings should be conducted more along the lines of a criminal trial. Those testifying are compelled to answer direct questions without evasion. Imagine if a witness in a civil or criminal case answered in such a way. Nothing would ever be accomplished.
The rules for these "Committee's" should be changed. When you can't answer a simple yes or no question for a nomination pick it should be automatically on to the next candidate. When you're being questioned on matters such as National security or anything serious and the person in question won't give a simple yes or no answer they should be held in contempt until they do. 🇺🇸
WOW! Sure wish the countries business was as cut-n-dried - or black-n-white as you see it . . . Our government is a complicated theory in progress and most questions can't be answered with a simple "yes or no". JMO
Any agency head or personal regardless of party affiliation, that refuses to answer a direct question with a straight answer should have their payroll/funding suspended or docked until they give a straight answer with NO BACKPAY! Until these criminally corrupt bureaucrats are held accountable for their double speak bullshit and refusal to answer nothing will change for the better.
The top 10% pay 74% of the income tax collected by the IRS. The remaining 90% pay 26% of the taxes collected by the IRS. What does the words 'pay a fair mean'?

It's apparent that "the fair share" isn't related to the revenue derived from income taxes, it's how much should earners be penalized for their productivity.
That's exactly what taxes are, a penalty
the lazy single mother tax plan , the ones who ingest the welfare money
Facts
It's Communism. Steal from those who produce, give to those who slack off! With the Gov't managers taking a handsome extortion fee for their effort.
Let's not forget that Biden uses a shell company (a pass through company) to recieve his fees from speaking engagements, books, and so on. He does this so he can take the majority of that money as a qualified dividends at 12 or 15 percent instead of as income at 37ish percent. He also avoids some employment related taxes on it at both the federal level and state or local levels.
Maybe he should pay his fair share first.
And you wonder why it's time to drain the swamp!
She can't answer because the answer is they want ALL your money
WOW UNBELIEVABLE.
Young is an intelligent Woman ... for a vegetable.
hahahahaha....
Inteelligence doesn't score any points with me if you are can't answer a simple question.
That's offensive. Vegetables have WAY more intelligence than her and her people.
@@c.s.440 Good catch, my bad. Apologies to vegetables everywhere.
With a name like Shalanda you know she's going to have great answers.
DEVERSITY HIRE !!
I agree with you Cyril C.
Haha, says the cretin called cyril.
This I do not understand? If her name was something else, what would happen?
Ms. McClain made a key point. If the US government was a business it would fail
UNDOUBTEDLY! 👍
Yes, and you can see that with the local city governments ruining cities such as Philadelphia, Chicago, New York, St. Louis, Detroit, Kansas City, Memphis. Common denominator? Democrats.
can we just vote them out already and i mean all of them everyone thats not doing their actual job
How professional it dresses 😂
Not giving a number is keeping her employed....this way the goal will never be reached and she can keep arguing for "their fair share" ad nauseum.
There needs to be a rule for government employees of any grade that every time you don't answer the question asked, you get 2 weeks off without pay.
There is a Holman rule that freezes their wages if involved with wrong doings of federal employees, elected or appointed
That's be a Joke they need 2 years in Federal Prison in the Hole for Every time they Don't answer the Question Asked then Bring them Back and if they Still want to play Games give them 4 years for every Time they Don't answer the question asked. Time to Get Real on these M.F. and Show them We're Not Playing Games anymore.
A better rule would be to apply your punishment to anyone in Congress who tries to deflect and keep their corruption & misinformation hidden when asking ridiculous questions. She the "gentle lady" tried to speak over her explanation of why there was not a direct answer for her. She tried to speak over the fact that the wealthy pay less than most middle class in taxes. Letting her speak would reveal the truth of the matter. Which is the wealthy pay almost nothing and get away the absolute most. It's just so blatantly in our face right now and it must change.
They should be held in contempt of court until they answer the questions. Maybe a few days in lockup will help them prepare for their job before coming to these senate hearings. If they don’t show up. Send a warrant out for them. Pick them up, and make them answer. They either answer, or spend a few days in jail. Simple. No more “I will have to get back to you. I don’t have those numbers right now.” No, instant contempt of court. I bet they will have answers from then on out.
If you can't define the percent they should pay how do you set the amount? This means they push division not policy.
What someone is worth should not matter. I know someone who inherited a little over 3 million dollars almost 40 years ago. That person has used very little of it. Taxes are paid any time money is drawn out. So why should taxes be paid on volume and be taxed when withdrawn ?
Excellent questions. The responses were not answers since they did not address what was asked.
The OMB must be non-partisan and carry water.
The perfect question
I give Shalanda credit at least for not saying the most irritating and usless thing: "Thank you for the question".
With her answer evasion skills I'm quite sure 'she'll land a' well paying job in the private sector, where she can pay her fair share.
Daaaannngggg,girl!!! Yes, I love how you try to get your answers. Wish you were my Rep. In michigan. Nope, stuck with Wahlberg. I think you need to talk with that guy and show him how its done. Please!!!!
Lisa is my hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😎
These people dance around the issues/questions long enough for time to run out, and never answering the questions.
This is what the Democrats do talk for hours and never say a word
Spin, spin, spin...It's just astonishing how the left can talk in circles and not say anything at all...
Amen Lisa, you're a savy Lady.
It’s NEVER enough.
Something all of these Brandon appointees have in common is their incompetence.
So hiring based on the color of one's skin and sexual preference isn't the recipe for success?
@jenkinsk1014
Young is definite Proof of That!
She has such Glaring Disrespect for the opportunity to Speak in front on Congress, The Moron Shows up wearing a Flannel Shirt!
That's the First sign of Incompetence right off the Bat!
Who decides who will be invited to speak before Congress and are these people chosen based on their knowledge of whatever subject Congress has scheduled to discuss that day? I ask because I watch these videos and no one EVER seems to answer what sounds like a reasonable, common sense question. Yet we keep doing the same thing, expecting different results. I love the Matt Gaetz approach which is to simply ask ALL the people before him on a given day, he simply asks the group as a whole if anyone has any firsthand knowledge of the subject to raise their hands.
its not like these people are being hand picked because they know they cant answer the questions they are brought in to answer because they are at the moment they are the heads of their fields and so are the only people to get said answers from
GOP intelligence vs Democrat double talk. The sheer frustration of watching ANOTHER Democrat refusing to answer direct questions.
Try GOP vs Communist double talk.
@63grandsport11
Same Difference really!
The Democrat Party has Obviously been Hijacked by The CPUSA!
It's Glaring, especially since the CPUSA doesn't even exist any longer, because they've been allowed to move to a bigger Party.
@@63grandsport11 The Democrats are the ones that are acting exactly like the communists, and not the Republicans in any way...
Democrats can not answer any questions.
FJB
I agree, most of the democrats don't seem to answer any questions, but she did answer the question. If you didn't hear the answer then you weren't listening in the first place.
The top 10% don't use the Taxes.... that money goes to the lower income people!!!!
A billionaire does not have annual income of $1,000,000,000. A billionaire has assets of $1,000,000,000. It’s an income tax, not an asset tax.
And in a down market a billionaire could easy go down in net worth and end up not owing taxes in a given year due to capital losses
She talks about making large corporations pay their "fair share". No matter how much you tax a large corporation it will NEVER pay its "fair share" because all it does is hand off its tax liabilities to its customers, its employees and its share holders. The answer is not MORE taxes. The answer is LESS spending. It's as plain and simple as that!
Exactly. The shift of corporate taxes to the consumer is so obvious even a simpleton on the Left could understand it, but their head-in-the-sand approach to practical matters doesn't allow for facts.
100%
The OMB nominee might as well just be labeled a DEI hire as that’s what this is.
FLAT TAX NOW!
I hope one day Shalanda Young's future is decided by somebody with candor and credibility equal to her own.
The question is the one you were asked , it's that simple
For you....but not for her....
I have an answer to a question so if you don't like my answer then you clearly haven't asked the right question...
Income taxes should be outlawed altogether. Nobody should pay a dime in income taxes.
Everything is taxed.... Keep your wealth around to be invested? Taxed. Buy items in order to actually go about your life? Taxed. Work? Income is taxed. Literally every step of modern life is taxed, and we are supposed to be happy about it....
It actually isn't legal.
@@suzsmith5787 it was for massive corporate profits,,but got moved to the people's income,,it's in the history books
So because someone has worked hard and become rich due to their hard work they should pay to support more people who don't want to work hard? That's not how this works
Dems see no value in hard work, this is how it culminates.
No matter what, it'll never be enough. We will always need money for very important studies such as "how much cocaine does a porcupine need to run 7 mph as to just 5 mph" . We really need these very important studies to keep the world from overheating
Just have to tolerate 2 more years and we will have a new OMB director.
It’s difficult to answer when your still trying to hide the truth.
50% of people pay NO TAXES!!! EVERYBODY SHOULD PAY
Once the takers outnumber the makers, this country is doomed.
P
She should just say 100%
Facts are facts
You have to make them accountable . Its all talk.
I'm sure if you checked this person's credentials being questioned it would be like every other person's in his cabinet?
yep and that's the elephant in the room.
No merit or skills…Color ✅
You’re hired!
That makes it easier to manipulate them. If she had an original thought to expedite any of her duties, she's better to keep her thoughts to herself
@@harris7963 Affirmative action all the way!!!🧐🙄💯🤡
So what I get from this interaction, it isn't about budget, it's about people who have more than she does so we need to take it from them.
I used to work with a person like this who graduated with a degree in English poetry and was running our company. We could never move forward and there was no accountability on that persons part. It was when an investigation came to that person where company funds were being misappropriated to fund a poetry slam outside the scope of our manufacturing company. Once exposed the resignation came like bolt of lightning. They got caught in their stupidity.
You go sister
Brilliant question!
Young asks back, “what are they worth”? It doesn’t matter! They pay 74% income tax…..OMG!! Does it come down to jealousy??
Young is dripping and oozing with Vicim Hood!
"But, but, but, they make More Money than I Ever Could, because they actually Apply Themselves"
🤪!
Yep
My personal income tax in 2015 was 15%. Since then it has risen to 24% as of 2021. My 2 ageing vehicles are taxed at higher and higher each year, my real estate taxes rise on a regular basis along with my homeowners and auto insurance. I figure groceries are up about 15.5% to 19.5% and rising. Health insurance is totally out of control while quality of medical care has dropped. All of this on a single income plus soc security. And the rich are paying 8%? Corporate right offs are worse, and let us not forget foreign aid, REALLY! So you want me to support your government? Yes your government not mine. A wise old country neighbor we had as I was growing up gave me some advice about if a man had a good dog, a good gun and a good pickup he has just about all he needed, should have listened.
And guess how much in ACTUAL DOLLARS that 8% represents.
Lisa MClain for California Congress please 🙏
I've got news for the whole country, the Federal government was only created to govern over the foreign affairs of the country!
The executive branch is only law enforcement, laws concerning the foreign affairs of the country.
The representatives are only to create the laws necessary for governing over the foreign affairs of the country.
The Senate is to represent the State governments concerning Federal government appointments, etc., which only concern the Federal government.
The Senate represents the State governments.
The Representatives represent the people in the States concerning foreign affairs of the country.
The ignorance of the reason for the Federal government in our country is unmitigated, let me say it again, the IGNORANCE OF THE REASON FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN OUR COUNTRY IS unmitigated!!! Wow!!
A very common tactic. When you don't have a valid answer you focus on a tiny number of exceptions and try to make it seem like they are the rule.
When she starts donating all her earned income to the homeless on the street, then I will say she's truly concerned about budgets
Can diversity ever mean a simple answer to a simple question?
Why should a person who was ELECTED by the masses have to put up with ignorance from someone that was gifted a position based on her political views only?
Don't apologize just tell them to answer the question so we can see their narrow view of our country and tax system.
DON’T YOU JUST LOVE IT WHEN YOURE Told you are asking the wrong question or that someone doesn’t agree with the way you’re asking a question just to avoid telling the truth!?
When OMB Director says “to me the question is…” She should have been stopped right there. YOU AREN’T THE ONE ASKING THE QUESTIONs.
Senator: "I'm not concerned with how you feel I should frame my question. I'm concerned with my question. Are you capable of answering my question without stating what you feel I should be asking?
Witness: "Um, we look at different metrics and..."
Senator: "So, that's a no. I move that this witness be held in contempt."
Time mark for when she said "contempt". Sorry your feelings got hurt 😢
@@vin8902 Sorry you aren't capable of understanding my statement.
@@Galaktican1 No worries. You can not understand her's.
Were you really expecting one of Biden's people to answer a question? They are still working on, "What is a Woman?"
Why won't someone just say what we all know is the goal - they want the rich to pay EVERYTHING and the lower class to pay nothing so we can continue to let the rest of us to pay them to remain poor with no responsibility to contribute to society.
In a nation where 10% of the people pay 75% of the taxes, I hate to break it to you, but you *are* the lower class. You are the one paying nothing (at least relatively) so you can continue to let the rich pay you to remain poor with no responsibility to contribute to society. Still feel like that's an accurate description of the situation?
@@Ryan-zv6xw True enough... the disappointing part is that 75% of the taxes are paying for programs most of us don't need or want. If we eliminated Gov't waste, or asked EVERYONE to pay their "fair share," there would be no need to steal money from anyone through taxation. No matter how you dice it - there's nothing fair about the imbalance in tax burdens spread across our populous.
@@MrTycobb25 Oh, it's even worse than that. So much of government expenditure supports the upper middle class and lower upper class. So if you look at the Ukraine tens of billions -- I support Ukraine self-rule, but our "help" is us paying our own companies to make arms to send there, the money is for our armament companies first, their freedom second. More people work for governments now than work in manufacturing, agriculture, and I believe construction combined. At least one in every hundred working Americans works for a school system. So we are printing, taking, and borrowing money to pay people to get richer than many of them should and then taxing them to give social benefits to people we keep poor by handing out food stamps and free medical care so they'll be willing to work for wages below their worth. It's a huge shell game and the most important thing is the government gets to be the one that hands out the money, so they keep power over all of us.
“To me...I reject your question and your characterization of the question, and so I’m just going to tell you something completely unrelated to what you just asked me.” - EVERY BIDEN ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL
These hearings are a ridiculous and boring circus! TAKE ACTION!! CHANGE THIS!!
You have to tell them we don't want your opinion , WE THE PEOPLE want a answer to the question
These hearings should be conducted more along the lines of a criminal trial. Those testifying are compelled to answer direct questions without evasion. Imagine if a witness in a civil or criminal case answered in such a way. Nothing would ever be accomplished.
Imagine if the senator stopped interrupting her and let her finish what she was trying to say
The rules for these "Committee's" should be changed. When you can't answer a simple yes or no question for a nomination pick it should be automatically on to the next candidate. When you're being questioned on matters such as National security or anything serious and the person in question won't give a simple yes or no answer they should be held in contempt until they do. 🇺🇸
WOW! Sure wish the countries business was as cut-n-dried - or black-n-white as you see it . . . Our government is a complicated theory in progress and most questions can't be answered with a simple "yes or no". JMO
DEI in brilliant exposure.
Corruption will never explain itself. Deception is then exposed.
"You're a very intelligent woman" - to a black. Debunked.
If they can't or won't answer a direct question, they shouldn't be working for the people.
Any agency head or personal regardless of party affiliation, that refuses to answer a direct question with a straight answer should have their payroll/funding suspended or docked until they give a straight answer with NO BACKPAY! Until these criminally corrupt bureaucrats are held accountable for their double speak bullshit and refusal to answer nothing will change for the better.
She's asking the wrong question. The question is "what is the definition of fair share.". As long as the term is never defined, it is jello.
You won't get an answer to that either.
Her answer would be 100%.
The top 10% pay 74% of the income tax collected by the IRS. The remaining 90% pay 26% of the taxes collected by the IRS. What does the words 'pay a fair mean'?
McLean from Michigan asked a very good question.
Least. Competent. Administration. Ever.
the greed of the government is UNBELIEVABLE!
