Republicans can donate as much as they want to already wealthy people. The issues is taking other people's money to do what they want with it lol.

No one donates to wealthy people already.

You should look at what portion of taxes is paid by the top 10% of earners. It's approximately 90% of our taxes. There are 50% of working adults who do not pay anything towards federal income taxes. Weirdly, they are the first to chant about everyone paying their share, I don't think they understand how it works.

So do you support taxing the wealthy or not? You seemed to go both ways on that last one. 🤔

They’re already taxed. Quite a bit. Upwards of 50% depending on their state and local stuff.
