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.

How Much Is $100 Billion, Really?

But we can change it anytime we like, no permission required: #DirectDemocracy #GiftEconomy "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government..." - Thomas Jefferson

The government will tax them but that money will never make it to the people. It'll go to defense contractors, new agencies or some other money laundering sceme

Seven people so much more successful than us! We are obsessed over our failure compared to them! Let's try to make everyone else hate them!
Replying to @marwilliamson
We need a flat tax rate, stop punishing those who worked hard and did well. Get rid of all of the loopholes!!

Uhm. So Reich is proposing taking all of their money? Like; how is this structured — basically mouth breather reasoning.

“How hard it is for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God!” This amazed them. But Jesus said again, “Dear children, it is very hard to enter the Kingdom of God. In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!”

However, billionaires that are donors, lobbyists and special interests are exempt. This is padded in the notion of a billionaires tax because most politicians on both sides make sure their friends and families are exempt from the laws or bills proposed
