    "for too long, the wealthiest Americans and big corporations have been able to use lawyers, accountants, and lobbyists to avoid paying their fair share"

    Yeah, ok good, but I'd would much rather see them repeal Trump's tax cut. This whole bit about them "paying their fair share" obfuscates the fact that their "fair share" is unbelievably paltry anyway.

      steals $10

      "Hey! Give back my $8!"

      "It was only $5"

      "I want my $3 back"

      "Okay, here's 50¢"

      "Thanks for returning my quarter!"

        I love that the US government applies this math consistently. Student debt forgiveness, stimulus checks, taxes...
