Michael Burry of ‘Big Short’ Fame Posts Twitter Rant Over Taxing the Rich

Michael Burry, whose huge, profitable bets against the housing bubble were made famous in “The Big Short,” denounced what he called U.S. class warfare and challenged the notion that the rich don’t pay enough taxes.

Burry said the wealthiest 1% paid a tax rate that’s seven times the one paid by the bottom 50%, in a tweet that asked if higher earners were due a tax cut. He also posted a series of tweets on a range of topics including the treatment of Covid-19, gender, and a defense of Donald Trump.
