In 2018, Warren Buffett was worth $84 billion. The effective tax rate on his mountain of wealth? 0.006%. My #WealthTax would have raised $2.5 billion from Buffett in 2018 alone that we could use to invest in things like #UniversalChildCare & more.

25% after the first $100k. Simple. Easy. Effective. No exemptions.

Using “net worth” (which is composed of fluctuating asset values rather than realized gains) is a fundamentally dishonest and unjust way to build tax policy.

Change the freaking tax codes so these people can't use all the loopholes to not pay. I say flat rate tax for all and no sneaky deductions....

I'm tired of breaking my back to make someone else rich and being taken advantage of for my labor.

How, exactly, do you plan on taxing wealth that is not liquid? Is the government going to seize his ownership equities of companies? Do you really not see a problem with this?
