This "tax" is being taken after the people earned their wealth. That seems a lot like ouright theft, worse than simply paying taxes.

Perhaps you're a visitor from an alternate timeline where the ultra-rich "earn" their wealth.

I know two rick people that both started from nothing, founded businesses and live a lifestyle that is far beyond mine. Not all rick are born that way.

So? Being smart and lucky isn't 'earning' anything. There is no reasonable relationship between wealth, and how hard you have worked to 'earn' your money. Of course fantastic wealth is 'unearned'.

All this time they tried to say that they only hated the billionaires and here it's really just anyone with more money than them.

And they wonder why the wealthy vote republican.

And they wonder why voters don't support democrat tax policies.

And they wonder why people don't believe them.

Asking someone to pay a tiny quantity relative to their wealth (far less than their fare share) is hardly hating them.

This is reminds me of Voat, where it is said that Jews cry out in pain as they strike you.

You are a retard every day of the week with your non-sequiturs like they're some kind of relevant fact.

You should learn how to shut up.

So surprised that your reply has zero information content, just what happens when one encounters a thoroughly rotten piece of shit like yourself.

Sounds like a pain in the dick to administer. Surely the costs of that would outweigh any potential tax gains?
