How can billionaires have a problem with paying a tax that won’t diminish the quality of their own life in the slightest way, and that will go to improve the quality of life for millions of others? #WealthTax

It’s called greed.

They are psychopaths

I’d say because of those who live off the government and too lazy to work. They want things handed to them instead of working hard everyday to earn what they have… but hey let’s take money from something who probably worked blood sweat and tears to pay those who sit and do Nadda

Why is 2021 are governments still not taxing all businesses? What do they get out of it?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Because Marianne, if they give an inch and we see how much better life can be here, then we'll want more and then the facade of capitalism starts to crumble even more. It's not only about the money for them, it's the message.

Combination of entitlement and ignorance.

Please dispense with the fallacy that we need to 'tax the rich' to get nice things. UK, US & Australia are all fiat currency systems, Gov ISSUES the currency. In what fantasyland does Gov that literally makes money, needs taxes from ANYONE to spend in its own money? #LearnMMT

We absolutely need to tax the rich, but not to get their money....they are not that important. We need to tax the rich to address rentseeking, inequality & most of all take-away their ability to corrupt the political process & steal from the public. #auspol #LearnMMT #economics
