All Democrats must not be afraid to support taxing the Billionaires

[Chasstev365]

Enough already!

We need to remind the public that this stupid, illegal war is costing the taxpayers $1 Billion dollars a day when people can't afford their basic needs, rent, food, etc.

If you work 40 hours a week and still are eligible for food stamps, its time to tax the rich!

1. But, wait!

6,000 years ago when god made this flat Earth which the sun revolves around, he decided which souls were the most worthy, those who would be rich and powerful.

Sound crazy? At least 25% of the electorate believe all or part of this. And they vote. Every time.

2. Maybe tax the flow of money rather than directly individuals? A transaction tax of say 1/10 of 1% on amounts over...

....say $1 million when money moves anywhere would be probably more effective as the rich will just all have addresses in Dubai or wherever if we focus on them individually. But when they invest, cash in profits or just shift funds we skim a tad off the top. No deductions. Yes, there would have to be a rule that you don't get to break transactions down to a series of $999,999 moves to avoid the tax but that would be simple. And not just individuals-- the banks, corporations, the Fed, everyone.
