In #Houston, an employee only needs to gross about $125,000 to achieve the same purchasing power as someone making $312,000 in New York!

Billionaires pay lobbyists not taxes...

Using calculations by #ForbesMagazine, #ProPublica noted wealth of 25 richest Americans combined jumped by $401 Billion from 2014 to 2018.

They paid $13.6 Billion in federal income taxes over those 4 years - equal to just 3.4% of the increase in their wealth.

Re Billionaire Bezo (& Branson) rocketing to space... only way he/they can get it up?
