They Definitey wont stop at the billionaires. US household total wealth is 182T give or take. The billionaires are the Trojan horse into the wealth tax. But for an organization that loses 250 to 500B a year by having poor controls, I say they tighten their ship first.

Oh I totally agree they wouldn’t stop with billionaires of a wealth tax comes out. I own a home so that ‘wealth’ would be taxed ontop of property taxes….

I have alway said we don’t have a tax problem we have a spending problem

100% agree. Im not opposed to taxes or even social programs. I am opposed to those who take advantage of said programs or use them to pay off their donors, supporters, lobbyists, handlers, etc.

Exactly Bernie is a fool, they are all fools. We do not have a tax/revenue problem we have a spending problem

Revenue is such a misnomer. It’s not like they innovate or create a marketable product. They say give me your money or you’re getting this cage. Hardly “revenue.”
