Surely your typical Democrat voter won’t interpret this statement as
‘whispering Joey’ obviously intended them to.

“He then empathized with everyday people who have been hit hard by the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and out-of-control inflation, which hit a 40-year high last month. Meanwhile, companies like Amazon and Walmart saw record-high profits.” (Just a little subjective analysis by the left-leaning Daily Mail.)
(Biden):”For most Americans, the last few years were very hard — stretching them to the breaking point — but billionaires and large corporations got richer than ever,” he said. ‘Right now billionaires pay an average 8 percent on their total income.’
‘Now, I’m a capitalist … if you make a billion bucks, great, just pay your fair share. “Pay a little bit. A firefighter and a teacher pay more than double — double — the tax rate that a billionaire pays.’
“A firefighter and a teacher pay more than double…double…the tax rate that a billionaire pays.”
……..
dlh : A person with an income of “1 billion bucks”, currently will pay 80 million “bucks” IN TAXES.
A TEACHER OR A FIREFIGHTER making, say $40.000, using Joie’s ‘tax math’, will pay $6,400 !
Just exactly how much is “a Fair Share”?
………
Does anyone doubt that “Joey” actually hopes the average American voter will think that he has pointed out a terribly unfair impact of current tax policy on ordinary citizens (that they pay more than the super-rich!) ? dlh
