I wonder if we have a higher GDP than..... estonia....
10% of 20 bucks is 2 bucks.
5% of 1000 is 50 bucks.
Any of those other countries 35 trillion in debt and 5,000 miles away from Ukraine?
No
Because they are not afraid to tax their wealthy people
Please post actual numbers if you want real comparisons, but considering Estonia's location, they damn well better be at the top of the list you show. We're farthest away and should be down on this list
No matter where you roam, it’s the wealthy that write and enforce tax laws. Your argument is senseless.
Ukraine shouldn’t be our concern and it’s the super wealthy who are enriching themselves in this grift.
According to the EU Tax Observatory, the super-rich in big countries pay a far smaller share of their income in taxes than ordinary people. And their wealth is hardly taxed, at effective rates of just 0%-0.5%.

Not true.
Global aid to Ukraine has reached a staggering 253 billion euros committed as of Jan. 15, or about $278 billion, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy. The group is trying to keep up with all of the commitments in its Ukraine Support Tracker, which keeps tabs on government-to-government transfers of military, financial and humanitarian aid into Ukraine. The Germany-based institute also tracks allocations, which it defines as aid earmarked and/or specified for delivery in the near term.
The majority of committed support by country has come from the United States, whose total aid commitment is valued at about $75 billion. The U.S. is followed by Germany and the United Kingdom for highest commitments overall. The European Union as a whole has committed approximately $93 billion in aid to Ukraine.
The types of aid committed vary by country. The U.S. is flexing its military might, committing weapons and equipment valued at $46 billion – the most among countries and more than twice as much as Germany, which has promised the next-highest amount of military aid.
The shit Germany gets is totally unjustified when you include refugee costs by those charts. They spend more than any other nation on that front.Ukraine Support Tracker - A Database of Military, Financial and Humanitarian Aid to Ukraine

So, from your article all "EU institutions" have combined for or committed to 104b in aid, the US has provided 67.45b. Germany, 3rd, has provided 20b....Ukraine Support Tracker - A Database of Military, Financial and Humanitarian Aid to Ukraine

And you think we should be doing more........
It's why they don't pay their share.
Yet you're constantly on here pushing rightwing narratives that support them...
You’re a tool. I don’t want anyone to pay the government one penny if it’s not consensual. Whether you make $50,000 a year or 50 million.
It’s theft.
Solid try, Komrade. Starve the US government of money so we cannot stand up to the autocrats like Putin and Xi.
They aren't afraid to tax everyone.
Almost half the people in the US pay no income taxes.
I hope zero people help ukraine. it's all a joke, smoke and mirrors. a way for biden and hunter to pocket kickback money.
