And that goes for all of these fucking leeches: The beloved pop star. The legendary athlete. The really nice lady who gave away ten billion. The soft-spoken revered investment guru who cosplays as middle class.
Every damn one of them should be paying 100% in taxes over a billion dollars, but they never will. Their greed is a more important consideration than whether or not you can get health care.
No, a flat amount will never work. Make it a multiple of some figure, like average wage. That way it actually changes with inflation and we don’t have a situation where the the inflation adjusted minimum wage is 6 times the actual federal minimum wage.
I think it’s a pretty core democratic value that no person is worth more than another. A compromise of 1 million times should satisfy individuals with even the most acute case of wealth hoarding.
I’m fine letting people have 100m. It’s really a drop in the bucket compared to the folks who have 1,000 times more than them. Definitely down to tax everything past that.

Make it so that if poor people earn more, the rich pay less taxes… Or something, that might actually not function.
Okay, federal minimum wage * 1m
Ya, that seems reasonable.

Yeah, I’m willing to comprise for a realistic solution to the billionaire problem.
In lieu of eating them, perhaps we just lightly munch? A small snack?
Agreed.
