ProPublica report: some billionaires paying less in taxes than ordinary workers

Shannon Longworth: RIGHT NOW — LAW ENFORCEMENT IS INVESTIGATING THE DISCLOSURE OF TAX RECORDS FOR SOME OF AMERICA’S WEALTHIEST.
THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT IS NOW INVOLVED AFTER PRO PUBLICA RELEASED ITS REPORT — SHOWING THOUSANDS OF THE COUNTRY’S WEALTHIEST PEOPLE PAID LITTLE TO NO INCOME TAXES.
THE NEWS OUTLET LOOKED AT RECORDS –SPANNING MORE THAN 15 YEARS.
THE REPORT SHOWS BILLIONAIRES LIKE AMAZON FOUNDER, JEFF BEZOS, AND TESLA FOUNDER, ELON MUSK, PAID NO FEDERAL INCOME TAXES FOR SOME OF THOSE YEARS.
WHEN ASKED, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY JEN PSAKI SAID ANY UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL GOVERNMENT INFORMATION IS ILLEGAL.
BUT ADDED ITS ON THE PRESIDENT’S AGENDA.
Jen Psaki: “I CAN TELL YOU THAT, BROADLY SPEAKING, WE KNOW THAT THERE IS MORE TO BE DONE TO ENSURE THAT CORPORATIONS, INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE AT THE HIGHEST INCOME ARE PAYING MORE OF THEIR FAIR SHARE, HENCE IT’S IN THE PRESIDENT’S PROPOSALS, HIS BUDGET, AND PART OF HOW HE’S PROPOSING TO PAY FOR HIS IDEAS.”
Gwen Baumgardner: TAXING THE WEALTHY *HAS* BEEN A CORNERSTONE OF PRESIDENT BIDEN’S INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN…

AND THE THE IDEA OF A BILLIONAIRE TAX HAS ALSO BEEN FLOATED IN D-C.

SO WHAT DOES THAT ENTAIL?

AND WOULD IT HELP?
