    If I did would it change your mind?

    If not, why should I bother? This isn’t germaine, it’s a distraction because you don’t want to argue the actual point.

      Stop trying to turn this into a discussion about me. I am acting in good faith.

      You can’t just make a claim and then refuse to back it while trying to have a real discussion.

      You will see someone else brought up loans, and I agree that is an issue. That is why the ultra-wealthy can avoid taxes, and that is a problem we can solve without violating the Constitution.

        Would it change your mind?

        If not, it’s irrelevant. So why are you so hung up on that?

        You’re playing games because you don’t want to discuss the actual issue.

        Fair enough, I understand you’ll lose the debate.

          Why do you keep avoiding the topic?

          You made a claim that Elon is making $1.5 billion in income. If it wasn’t important then why did you bring it up?

          Anyway, I will chalk this up to you not understanding income, wealth, and taxes.

          If you want to have a serious discussion, come back with some actual cites for your claim to discuss.
