29. If the tax receipts are significant

Fri Sep 8, 2023, 01:10 PM

Sep 2023

highlight that by saying, "The federal government, which means you, the people of the United States, took in an additional $30B (or whatever) in federal taxes just by demanding the money from the super wealthy who have neglected to honestly pay their fair share of taxes. No additional amount of taxes were levied or taken from anyone with a net asset value under $5 million (or whatever)."

I'm not sure whether the common clay would understand the meaning of "levy" and "net asset value", so those words may need to be massaged.
