I genuinely think being a billionaire is a mental illness the same way being a hoarder is

The only issue that I have with raising billionaire taxes is that it won’t generate more government revenue for the US government when people like Bezos only pay 1% in taxes instead of the actual rate for that level

Since when is net worth taxed? It’s not even real money. It’s unrealized capital gains

The US has actually never tax unrealized capital gains. This isn’t accurate. What’s your source for this?
