What is wrong with us that we won't tax these people?
More billionaires are seeking more private jets, but there simply aren't as many planes as they want available trib.al/L2GsjH2

What’s causing you to hallucinate that billionaires don’t pay taxes?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Adam Smith said capitalism doesn't work without progressive taxation in 1776. He didn't mean it to fill up the government's coffers. He said it is necessary to provide an even playing field for the economy. He knew that capitalism eats it's own and was trying to stop that.

There’s nothing wrong with me, I don’t support the ppl that refuse to rep the ppl of this country. Try it.

Profoundly basic and poignant question!

I think it’s pretty obvious— the US government is not a democracy but a corporatocracy. The gov. won’t tax their true bosses.

I don’t get the fuss. Billionaires buying private jets are just like the rest of us trying to buy a used car—but without the predatory lending.

private jets and yachts are directly responsible for outrageous levels of unnecessary LUXURY EMISSIONS. globally, about 50% of all CO2 is emitted, not by everyday people, but by the top 10%.

Cause problem is not the billionaires but us. We are feeding the system, every financial transaction we do is feeding this monster. We should restrict our economic activity only to necessities and stop all the other nonsense. All the interest charges, commissions, fees etc.,
