Doubling 0% is still 0%. No wonder it doesn’t help anyone.
Of course, he probably does pay some taxes, in which case, doubling that would obviously help people. He’s so full of shit.
Isn’t it possible that he doesn’t pay any taxes at this point. He could be spending so much on R&D that it cancels out the taxes he owes.
For someone of his wealth, it’s essentially nothing, but I’m sure he pays a little bit here and there. Certainly nothing anywhere near what he should be paying.
