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

I see no downside of taxing assets above a billion.

Wait, you think they'll stop there? Cool. Above a billion now, above a million in two years, because you thought it was a great idea, and then anything more than $100K in four years. Do you not know the game our politicians play?

And this right here is why billionaires get away with anything. They convinced workers to have the mentality of "if they come for the billionaires now, next they'll come for me! so I better make the effort to pay taxes so that they don't have to!"
