The richest 1% in the Netherlands pay relatively less tax than everyone else and their incomes have risen more sharply, according to new calculations by the government’s macro-economic forecasting agency CPB. Earlier research, based on figures from 2016, showed that people on the highest incomes pay less tax and the new figures, based on the period 2011 to 2019, paint a similar picture. The very richest, or 0.01% of the population, paid a tax rate of some 28%, well below the 40% paid by people with average incomes...
I was, in fact, talking about both The Netherlands and the U.S.
So why on earth were you so confused that you thought “the only two options were ‘only the U.S.’ or ‘every country in the world.’” Neither of these two options includes the Netherlands.
Maybe this is why you seem to be the only one confused about what I’m talking about.
No one is confused about what you are talking about: we all know you can’t talk about the bad in any country (at least in the EU) without at least shitting on the US too. It’s just a lot of other people are just like you.

Your question makes no sense. I was talking about two countries. Therefore, it was a geopolitical issue.

Then that should be easy for you to prove. Please do so. Unless it was a lie. Was it a lie?
So, billionaires not paying their fair share is just a US/Netherlands issue? If not, in your attempt to weasel out of what you said, you’re just confirming my point that you can’t talk about another country having bad shit without shitting on America.
Then that should be easy for you to prove.
lol. You said that everyone but me knew what you were talking about. . .but now when I assume what everyone else knows, I’m lying. Pretty safe to say your accusation is a confession. What’s good for the goose…

It is an issue anywhere billionaires have to pay tax. Which is not “worldwide,” as you claimed.
However, I’m not interested in talking to people who tell blatant lies about me even if they admit it, especially when they claim their lie is now their point, implying that it is not, in fact, a lie.
Enjoy being needlessly combative with someone else.

Holy shit, is there nothing you won’t be pedantic about? lol. What a joke of an attempt to avoid the point.

Nah, it’s over. When backed into a corner, FlyingSquid always seems to just latch onto some point, regardless of how tangential it is to actual point, because they think it is a “winning” point, and then won’t let go. I wanted to see what would happen if I relented on that distraction and just admitted to their implication, so we could go back to the main point. Apparently it means they run from the debate.
Although, in retrospect, I wish I hadn’t agreed to their accusation of lying, and instead claimed it was just a rhetorical statement, which is more accurate, and that I (obviously) couldn’t prove it. That probably would have been a better test. Agreeing to their accusation of lying just gave them an easy out.
To be honest, I have no idea what that image means.

Untrue, what I said was:
Note “seem to be.” Because no one else seems to be confused.
So, again, did you tell a lie? If not, please prove your claim.
Sure, I lied. Happy?
Now respond to the first part:

Anything to avoid the actual point.
Lemme go grab popcorn.
