Joe Biden, or whoever runs the White House resident’s Twitter account, complained on the social media platform about unfair taxes.
“Look, I think you should be able to be a billionaire if you can earn it, but just pay your fair share. I think you ought to pay a minimum tax of 25%,” Biden said.
“It’s about basic fairness.”
In the tweet, another Biden quote says the average billionaire pays three percent in taxes.
“No billionaire should be paying a lower tax than somebody working as a schoolteacher or a firefighter,” Biden said.
Look, I think you should be able to be a billionaire if you can earn it, but just pay your fair share.
