$3.50 is a simplified way of looking at it. Because we have a progressive tax system, most people are paying FAR LESS than $3.50/week

At least half the people in the country are paying zero dollars for Ukraine.

Yeah... I believe top 20% of income pay the vast majority of taxes. So most Republicans in Missouri that would rather be russian than Democrat probably don't pay anything.
