They obviously considered the ethics of this and decided to share for “the public interest” and not “a political purpose” as you say. What politicians do with this information is another matter. They’re simply telling the story like journalists are supposed to do!
- strictnein 5y agoLabeling something a "True Tax Rate" (paid taxes / wealth increase) isn't journalism, it's advocacy.
- greenie_beans 5y agoGood point. I guess I see the advantages of the ultra rich as something that shouldn’t be politicized. That’s some bullshit that all stripes of political belief should agree on and change. Like, who wouldn’t advocate for that? (Besides the ultra rich. And please don’t say those who aspire to be ultra rich, because that’s not a realistic argument/that idea should die) Edit: Can you explain why the phrase “true tax rate” is considered political advocacy?
