His companies recieve tax payer dollars.  You read that, correct?  Billions, much like Hughes.  I'm not a Musk hater and own Tesla stock.  

In the comments of the article there is some good discussion and one comment I fully support is taxing HFT's which Wall St definitely doesn't want and will stymy any effort dead in it's tracks.

The GOP’ers will argue till the end of time that billionaires shall pay no tax. 

Oops, The dems just nixed it......

House Ways and Means Committee Chair Richard Neal said Democrats will no longer pursue a proposal to enact a billionaire tax on the unrealized investment gains of the wealthiest Americans.

yes because him paying some taxes would really effect what he can do.  SMH.  

He is a beneficiary more than most of the system so him having to pay for that is no skin off anyone here nose.

It's hilarious that people think all billionaires never pay taxes.   To start when any company they own stock in makes income and pays taxes they are paying that same % of ownership whether it's on their tax forms or not.   Companies especially tech often take years to start turning big profits.   Blame investors as they keep sticking money in driving stock price up on Companies that lose money.

And that is wrong . Zero privet buisness should receive any fed tax money EVER . Just 2 of millions of examples of why we are so fucking deep in unrecoverable debt .

Stop it today. Along with all federal aid . Then we can start making some real cuts
