To Maxine Waters anyone with money left over after paying taxes is rich. They are really rich if they are able to have enough money to start a business, finance a new house or car—or take a vacation. She is jealous that she is not super rich—so she wants the rich to pay their fair share. What is a fair share? 10,20, 40 or 60% of their income? Today even the middle class is paying over 50%. Literally the rich and the middle cloas work more than half the time for government, not themselves.
“Waters began by saying, “I’m not into the blame game. I’m not into talking about whether or not Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is trying to protect himself and run for president, none of that.”
She added, “The first thing we’ve got to understand is, services cost money and we should be willing to get the richest people in this country, the richest 1% that is protected, make sure they pay their fair taxes so that we can have the money to provide the services. With that money and with those resources, the people who have been selected or elected to do the job should do the job. I don’t care who it is. It could be Democrat, it could be Republican, it could be whatever. But the fact of the matter is, we all should have heavy hearts right now, but we should have faith and we should be on point by making sure that we do everything to help the people that need.”
Can anyone define what a fare share is? Love to see your definition.
Waters: I’m Not Playing Politics on Fires, But We Need Rich to Pay Fair Share to Provide Services

On Friday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “Cuomo,” Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) stated that she doesn’t want to get into politics about the fires in California, but “services cost money and we should be willing to get the richest people in this country, the richest 1% that is protected, make sure they pay their fair taxes so that we can have the money to provide the services. With that money and with those resources, the people who have been selected or elected to do the job should do the job.”

Dammit, you can do the politics later. You can come and talk about Gavin Newsom later. You can talk about the Democrats later.”
Maxine Waters needs the rich to pay more taxes not their fair share, because the tax well of the middle income workers is about to run dry. Tax the rich more and the rich on the lower rungs of he rich latter will begin their exit following the middle income earners. The Democrats, Liberals, Socialists of California believe in one thing! The redistribution of wealth.
