Comes and goes just as fast. Changed the world, but all us cry babies without talent or business sense call foul when someone benefits from being more intelligent than us. Politicians are the ones you should be focused on, how do they get rich?

So basically, Republicans don't bother to raise the minimum wage because the ratio of $7.25 versus $221 Billion is essentially zero anyway (0.0000000000328).

He paid $11 billion in 2021. Between 2014-2018 he earned $1.5 billion and paid $455 million in taxes. How much is he supposed to pay? Remember that $221 billion isn't income.
