I don’t understand having a problem with taxing people so rich that there’s no way they would even feel the sting of a wealth tax. A wealth tax wouldn’t make a difference for them in the quality of one day, yet the money could be used to save the lives of millions. #WealthTaxNow

There is no reason billionaires should hold $10,000,000,000,000 in wealth while food lines stretch for miles and millions are on the brink of eviction. Tax the rich.

Where are there food lines that stretch for miles? You can tax the rich but it will cost jobs. The rich are not a renewable resource. Your taxes will erase the wealth you are taxing without creating new wealth to replace it.

You could take all the wealthy people's money, all of it. It wouldn't cover the costs of running this bloated monstrosity for two years. And it would eliminate how many jobs?

Politicians push percentage to look good but than leave loop holes where the rich pay zero. Have a minimum tax no loopholes.

So you think you (and your ilk) should decide how much money someone is allowed to have? How do you know what they do with their money? Perhaps they donate a huge amount directly to causes (instead of the wasteful way Congress spends tax money).
