If anything, he should be asking why billionaires are taxed at a lower rate than he is and trying to get them to pay their fair share. The GOP is not working to help him. He is not the 1%.

I know he is your friend, so please don't take this as a criticism of you, but his ignorance is just the kind of thing that keeps the GOP in business.
