“Billionaires will leave if you tax them”:

1. No they won’t
2. They leave even when you don’t tax them
3. Things get better for most people when they leave
4. They say this so you won’t tax them

Yes, Walmart execs rake in huge profits by paying their employees a fraction of the value of their labor. So, little, in fact, that they must rely on govt assistance just to survive. Consequently, it is all of us, through our tax dollars, that subsidize and enrich this slimy welfare scammer. But the $6.2B in public assistance quoted in this meme was based on 2014, and the amount they collect today is most likely much higher. https://www.forbes.com/sites/clareoconnor/2014/04/15/report-walmart-workers-cost-taxpayers-6-2-billion-in-public-assistance/

Walmart is the single largest employer in the U.S. (1.6 million employees). The Walton family has a collective estimated net worth of $225 billion. They’re so rich they own two separate NFL teams: the Rams and the Broncos. However, 48% of the children living in Bentonville, Arkansas, where Walmart is headquartered, are living in poverty—higher than any other county in the state. And the city is ranked 15th out of 916 metro areas in terms of income inequality. A 2017 survey of >1,000 Walmart employees found that the company was probably violating the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Family and Medical Leave Act. The New York Times said that the company “routinely refuses to accept doctors’ notes, penalizes workers who need to take care of a sick family member and otherwise punishes employees for lawful absences.” A 2013 report found that the U.S. taxpayers were paying $5,000/year per Walmart employee in govt. assistance.

#Billionaires with $1 salaries – and other legal tax dodges the #ultrawealthy use to keep their riches

Billionaires can enjoy growing wealth entirely free of income tax and reporting

By Ray Madoff
Published December 28, 2025

Excerpt: "Elon Musk received a salary of $0 from Tesla in 2024. Jeff Bezos earns $81,840 a year of income, low enough to get the child tax credit, which he took in 2021. One of our higher-paid billionaires is Warren Buffett, and he only gets $100,000 a year in salary and bonus combined.

All of these people are keeping their taxes down by keeping their salaries down. They are not avoiding compensation altogether, however, as they are well paid through the growing value of their stock. In 2024, Bezos’ wealth increased by $80 billion, Zuckerberg’s by $113 billion, Musk’s by $213 billion. Even better, they can enjoy this growing wealth entirely free of income tax and reporting."

Billionaires emit a million times more greenhouse gases than the average person.

2022 OxFam study found that wealthiest individuals’ investments account for up to 70% of their emissions, producing an average of 3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per person, per year. This is a million times higher than the average 2.76 tons of CO2 for those living in the bottom 90%.
