Related: Robert Reich posted earlier today that Tesla paid ZERO taxes on $5 billion in sales (earnings?), so that’s just fucking great.

It's really gross to me how people misrepresent taxes so often.

And especially people who I KNOW aren't complaining about OASDI and Medicare, other than perhaps they need MORE funding. Yet they include those when they toss out random numbers like "25%".

The tax rates are defined and published. These aren't fuzzy numbers we can play with, like survey results or experimental measurements or estimates. It's literally just math and yet people refuse to do it.

Hell, my in-laws continue to itemize their deductions in amounts less than the standard. They think they'll get audited of they don't. I'll never understand it and I cannot go over it again with them for my own sake.

Offer to do their taxes for them. Pocket the difference. Better it go to you than the IRS.
