Yes.
There are 7 “centibillionaires” in the US worth $100 billion or more. Each of them can: Give every teacher in America an $8000 raise for 5 years, or wipe out all US medical debt, or provide shelter for every homeless person in America. A billionaire tax should be a no-brainer.

Every teacher in the USA should be giving back $8000.00 to the taxpayers.

WhY is the government fixing there problems with our money. How about a 10 percent flat tax for all Americans including capitol gains.

Just imagine how great the pensions and 401k’s of those people would be if those billionaires started to liquidate assets to pay these bills

I Dunno Marianne each one of these billionaires provide essential services to the US and the world. They are billionaires because they carry the weight of the responsibility for these services, and the management that create these endeavors. You CAN teach a man to fish.

The counter argument is that billionaires are collecting wealth rather than returning investments back into the people that produced their wealth. Without these services the world would be a smaller place. The services they provide are more essential than the value they hold.
