The "Make Billionaires Pay Act" by Crazy Bernie & Gruesome Gillibrand imposes a one-time 60% tax on wealth gains made by billionaires during corona

[sealybobo]

Here’s how much these billionaires would pay under Sen. Bernie Sanders’ proposed “Make Billionaires Pay Act”:
-Jeff Bezos $42.8B
-Elon Musk $27.5B
-Mark Zuckerberg $22.8B

Stop saying “we can’t afford” Homes for All, Green New Deal or Medicare for All.

If we didn't spend trillions on endless wars and tax breaks for millionaires, we could afford to house our homeless, care for our seniors, and save our planet.

We suffer from greed, not scarcity

The Pandemic Has Benefited One Group Of People: Billionaires

Roughly 3 out of 4 American billionaires have seen a rise in their net worths. Elon Musk alone has tripled his net worth during the pandemic.

So you are crying about taxing Elon Musk 27 billion? Are you retarded?

I'm a fan of Tesla but has Musk made a profit on anything yet?

He tripled his worth since the start of corona. He must have made a profit on something. Maybe it was his stocks.

He didn't make a profit on stocks. Stock prices increased because of the feds socialist actions.

How does one of the richest men in the world get that way without actually making a profit?

How Rich is Too Rich For Democracy? | Common Dreams

At what point does great wealth held in a few hands actually harm democracy, threatening to turn a democratic republic into an oligarchy?

www.commondreams.org

You're fighting us liberals meanwhile the billionaires are WINNING.

Citizens United is another bad move towards the rich controlling our government with their influence. No one can defend this can they?

Apparently, Elon is a better salesman than you.

And Billionaires should be taxed more. I don't even think they care. Only you right wing cons want to protect/defend their fortunes. Even when that means eventually they'll have to raise your taxes and cut your social security/Medicare.

I like Bernie Sanders plan...
Tax business at 75% if they off-shore and/or use Business Visas.
Do you agree?

 

[Claudette]

This stupid shit is why Crazy Bernie has never and will never be nominated

He's nuts

That he is and you will notice he lives in a mansion.

 

[martybegan]

Right, like I should feel sorry for billionaires like Bezos who only get to keep $40 BILLION DOLLARS instead of something like $70 billion. Such poor poor poor billionaires!

Wow, envy, typical of the left.

The thing is this tax would gut the economy due to the sudden need for liquid assets to pay off those massive taxes. Do you think Bezos has $30 billion in cash just sitting around? He would have to sell securities, he would have to sell property maybe, and he would be just one of many of these guys dumping these assets all at once. And since all the would be buyers would have to sell the same way, who would be buying? With all the assets flooding the market, the value of those assets would plummet, forcing them to sell more assets, forcing values even lower.

If Bezos and the others had to dump millions of shares of their company stock all at once, the values of those companies would fall, and that would cripple pension and 401k plans, and pension plans are already in pain.

Do leftists even think of the possible effects of a wealth tax like this????

 

[basquebromance]

they should rename this law the Make Billionaires Go Crazy Act!

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Meanwhile since this attitude (started with Reagan) our infrastructure is crumbling.

Which crumbling infrastructure should the feds repair, which should state and local governments fix?

States used to get money from the Federal Government to help with infrastructure. But instead billionaires don't pay taxes anymore so now it's up to the people (you and me) to pay more taxes to fund the infrastructure.

So they shifted the tax burden from Musk to you, stupid.

You're fighting us liberals meanwhile the billionaires are WINNING.

Citizens United is another bad move towards the rich controlling our government with their influence. No one can defend this can they?

Apparently, Elon is a better salesman than you.

And Billionaires should be taxed more. I don't even think they care. Only you right wing cons want to protect/defend their fortunes. Even when that means eventually they'll have to raise your taxes and cut your social security/Medicare.

I like Bernie Sanders plan...
Tax business at 75% if they off-shore and/or use Business Visas.
Do you agree?

Yes

No. Typical lefty, taxation as punishment, not taxation as a funding source.

What a cop out.

What cop out? It's a purely "we wants your monies" grab.

How about make the tax system here more fair so people won't legally try to avoid paying them via methods like this?

People aren't interested in a "fair" tax. They are interested in no tax. Just like Amazon.
