A wealth tax of 2% on over $50M & another 1% over $1B would never even be felt in the daily lives of those taxed. There is something so warped about trying to protect the wealth of those who already have so much, while voting to crush the opportunities of those who have so little

You’re mistaken to believe that any such tax would benefit those who have little. Good morals do not magically make government function for the betterment of the impoverished. On the contrary, government creates more poverty than anything else.

This isn't capitalism... We need to fix our monetary system

So true and the fact that the billionaires pay so much propaganda money to politicians who are elected by the constituents who need the money. I’ll never understand why poor people vote Republican. Most ignorant thing a person can do.

And when the wealth drops the following year, do they get a refund?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Yes! It's so warped to try to protect our own property from those who want to take it from us by force! History has shown! Good governments have no respect for citizens' property!

If everyone in the US paid the maximum tax, it wouldn't put a dent in the $30 Trillion we currently owe.

So are you going to run for office again and do something about it, or not?

And do what with the money?? Redistribution? The government pisses money away.
