Bernie Sanders offers bill to tax Billionaires wealth gains during pandemic

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Anybody who was crying about a wealth tax last year looks like a damn fool. Bezos lost 25% of Amazon in a divorce and is richer today than he was before the divorce, He's also sold large chunks of his shares too and yet he's richer than ever. A wealth tax as proposed by Elizabeth Warren on 2% over $50 million and 6% over a billion is needed.

We already have a tax for when people get a lot richer in a particular year, it's called an income tax.

It’s not enough.

If that's the issue why not raise rates, maybe creating some new brackets, rather than a whole new kind of tax?

Morons are still arguing against a wealth tax. Meanwhile Republicans are scheming on the next tax policy to rob public coffers and pass more wealth to the rich. They're going to index capital gains to inflation, something that will overwhelmingly benefit the top 1% of shareholders.

 The Republicans will probably get this policy passed too because Americans are bad at math, bad at understanding how policy impacts their everyday lives, and have been brainwashed to be billionaire worshipers.

 Trump is even talking about doing this by executive order and bypassing Congress.

 

Are you really complaining that arguing about a wealth tax is a moronic distraction?  You are the one who brought it up!
