Sentiment Building to Deport Nation's Billionaires

[HomerRamone]

They don’t pay taxes. They circumvent our laws. They get free stuff from the government. They are America’s billionaires, and many would like to see them gone.

According to a new survey by the University of Minnesota’s Opinion Research Institute, the American people hold the nation’s billionaires in lower esteem than ever before, and a majority would like to see new laws enacted to deport them...

“Many of these people should be in prison, and the government is looking the other way,” one respondent said.

Stirring even more controversy is the billionaires’ practice of having babies in the United States and using the nation’s porous estate-tax laws to pass down untold wealth to the next generation.

“They should leave and take their children with them,” one respondent said.

1. No, No, No

Just tax them.

Estate tax 95%. Just like our founding fathers wanted. No oligarchs like in England.

Tax unrealized capital gains of over $5 million as income.

There

Problem solved.

Not like they are moving to the poorhouse. Their 7th mansion.

Or Devil's Island.

3. Haha! We should make this a thing

just to see how they like it. The billionaires who buy our politicians and run the shadow government are the ultimate something-for-nothing takers and cheaters.

More brilliance from Borowitz. Makes such a vital point. I hope we overturn CU in my lifetime.

4. The billionaires are fighting back.
