No one should own their own home. Everyone should live in government owned apartments. Except for political elites. /s

They say this but don’t send checks in as they’re full of it.

You could flip wealth the rich with the poor.

In ten years you’d wind up basically in the same place.

With wealth comes the responsibility to use that money
wisely. The poor couldn’t. You’d just destroy the
original wealth.

Very few poor people would have their lives changed.

Look at the lottery winners for a great eye opener.

Or one in 561,000 millionaires support this.

That’s not a tiny minority, that’s downright microscopic.

“I think it is more a “pull the ladder up after you” maneuver.”

Nah. I don’t think so. I do agree that the ones hurt the most are the upper middle class and barely rich ... followed by everyone else. Jobs and the economy in general are adversely affected by taxes on the wealthy.

they should give out their emails- folks can write them and ask for the millionaire’s money if they are so concerned about equality of income-

No one stops these people from donating any amount of their money to reduce government deficits, to fund charities, or to start/augment a jobs-training program of some kind. As such, it appears to me that their only interest in codifying a higher tax rate is to cement their place in the social and economic pecking order...so, F’EM!!!!!

Just cause you’re a millionaire doesn’t mean
you can’t be an idiot.

Must be inherited wealth. These people are too stupid to have actually earned it.

More than 100 ‘millionaires’ in the whole world! That’s pretty impressive.

Since when is being a millionaire a really big thing? 1940?

If these people are sincere in wanting to be taxed more, why do they pay big money in fees to tax accountants and tax attorneys to avoid taxation under the current system? Is tax planning anything other than seeking a legal way to avoid paying taxes?

Just write your check out to the IRS.

I believe the IRS will just return any excess tax payment. However, the Bureau of Fiscal Service in the Treasury Department will accept any donation a person wants to make.

I don't know if you have to give 10% to the Big Guy or not. Might only apply to Biden Family bribes.
