15% are paid fakes.
15% of his paid twitters followers are willing to admit they are paid. You can almost guarantee the number is far higher. 15% are the one who feel enough guilt or whatever to admit to this fact.
Honestly the people being are probably smarter than those of us not being paid...it's all about money right? That is how the system works, you spend money to get what you want...so if I'm not going to get national healthcare systems and fewer loopholes for massive corporations to exploit then I should at least get paid right?
I don't want national health care. I don't even care if you understand why- the evidence against such a thing being beneficial is so overwhelming that only a blind ideologue could ignore it.
A flat tax would close all those evil loopholes you're worried about- but then again we wouldn't be able to hide just how much government spending costs us anymore and it would make national healthcare look like the fiscal doom that it is.
