Many of richest Americans paid nearly nothing in federal income taxes: Report

1. And this concerns me how?

2. People will always Blame the rich it's human nature to be jealous of those who have more than you. But people willingly buy and use there products and give them there money and then Blame them for being rich. The rich are rich because they are smarter and luckier than you and me otherwise we would all be poor and the same. Go start a business if you're so smart.

3. Fake news.

4. Keep voting Republican and watch our standard of living decline in America.

5. These people are not as rich as they are thought to be SMH give them a break

6. Well what happened to flat tax they all ran on in 2016?. No right offs just pay 10% every one. Even the poor.

7. Lol is this news? Been the way forever. But now that you all learned this, time to do something?

8. I follow the IRS rules to pay as little federal income tax as possible. Whats the big deal.

9. That don’t pay because of how many people they employ. In regards to investing, many of us can do the same thing but are too lazy or scared to make the sacrifices they did to become rich. sorry——struggling single parent, not a hater😏

10. So what tax was created for you little people 9-5 workers stop acting like you dont know…

11. All these people own corporations and companies that employ millions of people that do pay taxes to me if you have over 100,000 employees that you provide an income for don't pay taxes. The government just wants the money that they give to charity

12. Capitalism is evil

13. From Boston tea party to no tax party.

14. A better way for ABC news to cover this story would be to tell people how many millions or billions over the years that Disney has paid politicians to put the loopholes in place.

15. the rich get these tax benefits through campaign contributions to congress who pass tax laws. there also needs to be a minimum federal tax

16. I owed 600$ once and the government threatened to come in my apartment and auction off my minimal property.

17. Don’t hate the player hate the game

18. Ok they pay more then they take out what they lost on employees consumers and game over

19. This is a bunch of B.S. These media people don't know the difference between "asset appreciation" and "income". Actually, they do know it, but they have a narrative to stick to.

    Bezos and Elon Musk paid 30% in income tax for the year that was reported. However, the stock they hold appreciated significantly. They will pay tax on that when they sell shares.

    YOU DON'T PAY TAXES ON STOCK AND ASSET APPRECIATION UNTIL YOU SELL AND GET CASH. Then you pay taxes.

    It is no wonder no one believes the media.

20. The rich keep getting richer… This country don't care about the people…. Only thing they care about is holding on the more money when you die the money don't go with you
