This is untrue and has been debunked time and time again.

In the United States, the top 10% pays closer to 75% of all federal income taxes, 60% of ALL federal tax revenue, and around 50% of all taxes when including state and local.
Yes, the rich pay for the “free” crap that some people want. Most normal people just want the government designed by the founders of the country, minimal and out of our lives. People need to be 100% self sufficient.
 
Probably not as higher income earners always pay more. The top 10% of earners pay 90% of the taxes.
Higher income earners of the middle class, yes. But not millionaires and billionaires. They pay less, if at all. With that amount of money, there are lot more ways to reduce your tax liability… if not completely eliminate it.

That is a complete lie as know by the people saying it.

Lol, so you just parrot what others said, instead of actually looking into it and learn something? I mean, no wonder that you have no idea how investments work.

As for the "lie", let me give you some examples, i.e. facts:

- Trump paid $750 in 2016/2017 and paid ZERO income taxes in 2020:

- Warren Buffet had an effective income tax rate of 0.1% from 2014 to 2018 and currently pays around 17.4%:

Apparently, you are also not familiar with Warren Buffet, otherwise, you would know his famous quote: he pays LESS taxes (17.4%) than his secretary (35.8%). He's also famous for advocating to fix the tax code so that wealthy people (him included) actually pay what they are supposed to pay. It's all right there in the article, but this should be common knowledge.

No worries, you will never make that amount of money where you can reduce your tax liability to such an extent. Just know that most wealthy people do...

The press just lies about everything and cannot be trusted. The press has been known to produce lies and continues to do so because they reference the lies parroted by another person, so they seem like they are telling the truth. Reality is quite hard for the press in the last decade. I do not care about making a lot of money, just enough to pay my bills. Striving to make more money than what is needed is utterly childish and irresponsible.

I look forward to seeing the roads, cancer treatments, and fusion energy reactors you will create on your own...
 
I do not have access to Apple's R&D nor their HR departments. I am judging based on the quality (or lack there of) the work, and the teams inability to deliver something 3 years into the AI boom. Apple is criminally late to the game at this point.
Criminally late? What law (federal, state or local) has it broken? Hyperbolic statements like this are just silly.
