(3,596 posts)Schumer is simply suggesting that someone who amasses a fortune in our economic system which provides tremendous opportunity and legal advantage to entrepreneurs MUST pay a fair share for that opportunity.
Companies have tremendous advantages in our system. They take advantage of our limited liability protections. They have access to our largely unfettered open markets. They benefit from roads, bridges and other infrastructure that allow employees to get to work, transport goods, etc.
They benefit from education, the majority of which is public.
I could go on and on.
And this little not dry behind the ears dweeb wants to escape his taxes? Fine, seize his assets wherever we have access. Permanently deny him access to this country until he pays.
