Sounds a bit like propaganda. I wonder if there could be a debate on this sort of topic with well researched papers used as evidence and analysis.

[pololife]

Anyone sell bull?
Sounds like I am listening to conjectures bc he is a guy that benefits from the tax cuts.

[Lardzor]

He has the best facts, ALTERNATIVE facts. Actual facts are so depressing.

As convincing as Big Tobacco talking about the health benefits of smoking.

[brucewayne]

What about taxes on capital gains & corporate taxes? Also what workers not being able to deduct things like tools & work clothes for their jobs anymore?

[ccdmike]

The income of the filthy rich went up so they payed more.

[sydrifai]

More and more videos of this guy speaking. More and more this channel being sus.

[LilaGrayBostwick]

How can this be? It's exactly the opposite of what they're advocating.

[alphabet]

The dislikes are from people who didn't understand what they just heard.

[joyjoyoo]

He made it sound like a bad thing. Tax the wealthy!

[CrimsonA]

Saying "The rich were taxed more!" Is never enough to be considered a "fact." Post your sources, Mr. Forbes.

[roguepilot]

He is missing some variables in his equations. He is assuming everyone earns the same every year. Does he thinks we are naive???

[John_Doe]

Sure. I believe you rich man. All I know is I'm getting back less from federal and state. I'm sure we're not all getting less back.

[ClassicFIHD]

Federal Revenue went up:

FY 2021 $4.05 trillion << Recovery
FY 2020 $3.42 trillion << Covid
FY 2019 $3.46 trillion + .13 trillion
FY 2018 $3.33 trillion + .01 trillion
FY 2017 $3.32 trillion << Trump's tax cuts

[mpaulino]

Really like Mr Forbes.. What a good guy..

[Alduinsshadow]

Possibly for personal income, not for businesses though, there have been a number of share buy backs and increase in capital gains

[omenknight]

I like how Forbes is trying to twist uneducated people, rich people don’t have income taxes they make money thru Capital Gains. If your rich why would you take in Income and pay taxes, when you can just use your businesses capital gains and pay hardly any taxes.

[danabrown]

If you keep putting out videos like this, you will be challenged by people who weren't born into money and have gone to college.

[I_SuperHiro_I]

They’re paying more cuz they’re making way more money. Tax cuts always work because they increase revenue and save low earners.
