    Of course he’s gonna say that

    Taxes on the working class are a gigantic portion of our income- billionaires taxes going up would literally be the equivalent of like a parking ticket for a working person. Inconvenient but you pay it and forget about it in a week.

    Billionaires could and should be taxed at like 90% or more for income, and there should be a wealth or net worth tax for every single billionaire. The fucked up thing is that we (in the US) HAD THIS TAX CODE until Reagan fucked us all in the ass

    The us tax system literally gave us a middle class and built the highways and created the largest economy on earth. AND THERE WERE STILL RICH PEOPLE

    THERE WERE STILL OBSCENELY WEALTHY PEOPLE EVEN UNDER THAT TAX CODE
