If you make $200,000 you will pay 40% tax.
If you make $200,000,000 you will pay 0-2% tax.
This is what you should be angry about.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
US federal top marginal income tax rate is 37%, not 40%; effective federal income tax for $200k earners is typically 13-18% while top 1% average 26% and pay 38% of all such taxes (IRS data). The $200M claim confuses realized income with unrealized wealth gains.

After months in foster care, this little girl was finally adopted. The moment she saw her new dad, she ran to him, giggling and calling him "Daddy" for the first time.. 💖

"I asked the shelter staff, 'Is there a dog here that almost nobody pays attention to?'" 💔
They introduced me to Murphy, a large dog overwhelmed by fear. He cowered in the corner of his kennel, head down, avoiding every gaze and trembling so badly that he was afraid to take a step.
Rachel decided to take Murphy outside, but everything frightened him. He kept shrinking back, too scared to move forward.
Rachel never forced him. Day after day, she patiently stayed by his side, gently taking him for walks, feeding him, petting him, and letting him explore the world at his own pace.
Little by little, Murphy began to trust again. And then, one day, the dog who once knew only fear finally wore a happy smile. 🥹❤️
