"I would like to offer to pay"

Hey failed penis enlargement surgery victim.

You can just start giving people money.

You don't have to ask anyone's permission.

You know what else Elon Musk can do?

Pay taxes.

Same with the rest of the billionaires.

I hate to break it to you, Clownshack, but billionaires DO pay taxes. Lots of taxes. You are being lied to.

What are you breaking to me? Your lack of understanding how math works.

Thanks to tax cuts, creative accounting, off shore holdings, and many other loopholes we couldn't imagine, billionaires pay less in percentage than the middle class does.

You've proven yourself to be nothing but a bootlicker for the wealthy.

They've taught you to be servile and you put your 110% into it.

Jeff Bezos salary is $80,000 a year.

He pays a lower income tax rate than most of us.

Republicans who pay more income taxes than Jeff Bezos say it's because Republicans are dumb with their money compared to Jeff Bezoz.

If Musk and the rest of America's billionaires paid the same tax rates the wealthy did in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, America could actually be the first world nation we all pretend it is.
