Earnings don't increase or decrease because of taxes. What you get to get to keep changes.
how did anybody get 'poorer' because liberals like Zuckerberg , Bezos, Gates ,Buffet ,Dorsey , Cook , fink, rappers, Bill Maher woke athletes , woke celebs, paid less in TAXES etc etc got rich off Trump?
(btw Total amount of optional extra taxes paid by these people-> 0)
 
No derp, taxes increase or decrease with earnings. Jesus christ.
