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.

We should stop calling it a wealth tax. It should be rightly called a “billionaire tax.” People making $400,000/year aren’t wealthy.

You can't understand it because you are ignorant when it comes to understanding wealth and taxes!

It's the antithesis of any spiritual tradition on Earth. ESPECIALLY Christianity. Ffs.

Exactly. How many gilded toilets does one need? After you buy all the fancy houses and yachts and you still make $1mill a day in interest alone-what is the point? You can’t take it with you. It’s disgusting.

You could live on $20k a year...why don’t we have the rest of your salary taken away as well. Think of all the people it could help. You should also sell your home and rent. That money would be better spent elsewhere as well.
