    This has been going on for decades! Back in the 80’s it was people from Gary Indiana coming here for easy welfare

    No shit. How about we start taking a look at the spending of all the so called "Violence Interrupters" that threaten the city if they don't get funded and the non-police mental health service that somehow doesn't work on weekends or evenings and doesn't respond to requests to show up.

    that's bs. ya didn't have to leave your state to do some fraud when covid was slanging

    all you people in this sub yelling about Minneapolis just doing so much fraud because of the dems who represent the state are overlooking the fact that fraud was going on everywhere. they didn't spearhead it

    go find out who did. then you can be taken seriously

    You’re describing how hyper wealthy look at American tax system as well.

    Not really relevant or comparable considering one group contributes to society by following tax laws and paying lots of taxes while the other group is a tax stealing lawbreaking drag on society.

    Hyper wealthy pay less in taxes as a percentage than you or me. Same with mega corporations. About to pay less too.

    Take a guess which group is in charge of your cost of living.

    they pay the most, i.e. not a drag in any sensible form of the word. the percentage vs. what’s fair doesn’t help the argument that they’re somehow contributing less than criminals stealing..

    That’s the thing though is that they dont pay the most as a percentage. They literally are doing a form of fraud by not paying taxes while simultaneously obtaining obscene loans essentially for free while the bottom 99 percent pay for it. That’s what I’m arguing.

    no i know, and that’s a valid argument, i just agree with the parent commenter that that’s a distraction from the point and a separate argument

    The top 10% of earners pay 72% of all federal taxes. The bottom 50% paid 3% of all federal taxes. How is that fair?

    As a percentage of income.

    1 points Large_Signature_2749

    Ok, what is the fair percentage amount that the top 10% and bottom 50% should pay? Instead of 72/3, should it be 80/1? Or 90/0? Please tell.

    I’d like to see the brackets go back up to 90 percent for the top earners like we had in 70s. Tax cuts for the rich have failed miserably.

    So what percentage should the top 10% pay? 95%of all fedeal taxes while the other 90% pays 5%

    Nothing new about this. This happens all the time in every state. I hate that it happened in MN. (It enrages me to even think about it) But not naive enough to think that thieves only target MN. Crooks are everywhere.
