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

They won’t pay it, they’ll move their money. You know this.

Likely everyone doesn't like paying a tax to an entity that is very inefficient at using it...

Taxing unrealized gains in unconstitutional that’s why.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Most "wealth" is illiquid. Taxing it essentially taxes the value of businesses and property. People who work at or patronize businesses will be affected, and people who live at real estate properties or who sell to the wealthy will also be impacted. A wealth tax is anti-capital.

Because they don't care. They are soulless.

Surely you have heard of greed? That's why.

I 100% trust billionaires more with their money than I trust the government with the billionaire's money
