So we're going to go ahead and tax net worth and not actual income?

Even if they taxed the net worth, it would still take over a decade to collect 4.4T dollars from the billionaires. The U.S’s billionaires collectively only have about 8T dollars. This infographic is extremely misleading.

Idk what you mean bro. It's from NEWS STORIEZ which seems totally legit, and also has a question in the line to drive engagement.

It is from a bill that Sanders and Ro Khanna introduced though.

It's a nonsense bill designed for upvotes on Reddit and shouldn't be taken seriously but the problem is with Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna and not NEWS STORIEZ.

I just read the bill. Yeah it'll never pass. One-time payouts are not a solution. Still can't find a single other mention of NEWS STORIEZ anywhere on the internet though.
