The actual average tax rate billionaires pay is 23%. The claim that "billionaires on average pay 8% in federal income taxes" is misleading. Billionaires are taxed at the same brackets as everyone else on their earned income, there is no special rate for billionaires. https://www.forbes.com/sites/howardgleckman/2019/10/11/are-us-billionaires-really-paying-a-lower-tax-rate-than-working-people-probably-not/

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1702502643438895446
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
