Why can’t they understand that the money is invested and doing work which benefits others?

Billionaires should pay their fair share of taxes but demonizing billionaires is dumb unless it's Bezos. They need to stop lying to people saying working hard is supposed to make you successful you're supposed to work smart. The dumbest idea was by Bernie who said employees should be given a % of the company.

There's a reason the term is "worth x billion dollars".

Way too many filth think Bloomie has 60 billion plus in cash and/or CD's. They have zero knowledge.

This is something that already happens in many businesses

Not that Bernie knows anything about business or being an employee

If their wet dream of wealth taxes pass. Some of them may build huge hidden bunkers of cash so that they cannot trace the money for a wealth tax.

If your Bloomberg you may have to work on trying to hide it, your bunker may need to be as large as Scrooge McDuck’s money bin.

Money to them is cash in a wallet.

They also believe there is a "wealth pie" that has to be divided up-- for you to get yours, you have to take theirs.

They don't get that money / wealth is CREATED every day.

Please explain to me that a billionaire paying 40% in taxes and and $1,000aire paying 15% in taxes isn’t fair.
because after that billionaire pays 40%, he’s probably still a billionaire a few times over

It’s not the governments right to make you not a billionaire. Go study capitalism and the constitution. We had something called a revolution in which the entire purpose was to not have a “government” infringe on your life. You literally should be thanking these people for starting a business that makes so much money they can pay billions in taxes every single year and employ so many people.

The minute they tax billionaires is the minute they all change their citizenship to a tax friendly country and move their wealth away from the US.

The only argument that they don't pay "enough" taxes that I could maybe, just maybe agree on is Social Security/Medicaid. It is capped. Leave it capped where it is then if you are clearing 2 million in income maybe throw a percent towards it or some shite If you want to tax them for the benefit of society and help others then that is where it should be done. They don't need SS. SS needs massive reform anyhow.
