But we dont want to have the billionaires move to Holland when we hit them in April for the taxes y'all suggest.
Why on Earth would Bezos move to Michigan!?

Ohhhhhh. Who knew. Ford? Carnegie? Westinghouse? Tell us more.
Clearly you didn’t.
I do not know of this Westinghouse, Ford was a fascist scumbag who also pioneered production line techniques and Carnegie probably gave away more money than even a high tax regime would’ve taken from him. Not sure what point your trying to make here Joe. Is it ‘You should not not tax filthy rich people and in support of my argument Here’s a list of filthy rich peoples’ 🙄

You are not sure of my point? That is because you are preoccupied with 'posting up' on me, digging out any little morsel to confuse this most simple point. Clever comments, such as that, a bit of faux confusion, if you will.
But you do know the point, Kev. Turn creative free-thinkers loose. Let them make our lives better. I think I will Amazon a snowboard today from Vail, and improve my gap jumping in Vermont with it tomorrow. Certainly, You are aware that rich people don't put their money in the bank, they invest it and then re-invest it. And our country is all the better for it. But YOU want to get Bezos' money and put him away.
Bring it, Kev.

The weirdest factor is that these people have so much wealth, but no income......the tax is based on income. Buffet prob makes $1 a year in taxable income.

It's not income it's wealth. Don't you find that system inherently problematic? Property taxes keep increasing every darn year from city reassessments on the value of my home. Why should my (unsold) home ...[text shortened]... people's assets increase in value, that should be taxed. Otherwise lets do away with property taxes.
I think a person’s primary residence should be tax free.

BUT, in the same breath, you want us to pay for an abortion tomorrow of a girl across town who decided to get pregnant, and changed her mind. Would your property tax not be the source of money with which to pay for the procedure? You lot are a convoluted bunch.

What the ??????????
How did you get from a billionaire tax to talking about who pays for an abortion.
Unless you are just slipping up and showing what you really stand for in this forum ??

And then go one step further and display the full extent of your moronity.

A woman plans to get pregnant just so she can terminate it ???

Shav should be online shortly.
He can do the alert honors.

I'll tell you. I had just pointed out that property taxes pay for goods ad services of a town. Garbage, schools, and of course medical care hospitals. Hospitals perform abortions. Libs love taxes paying for abortions. Thousand said, just above, to do away with property tax. So, once again, a clueless liberal cannot 'close' a point. No tax means no money to pay for the abortion. That is the end of my simple (confusing to you) explanation.
As to your liberal-eze that she got pregnant 'just so she can terminate it.".....I have no idea why she got pregnant. Ask Suzianne or someone. I do know one thing, though, and I can prove it. She WaNTED to get pregnant. (rape, incest excepted).
Whew.

He is indeed. He has the hardest time with the simplest of concepts. Hey, aren't you supposed to be on the road to Kenosha? No posting while driving.

Next up in Joe's bogeyman list: men wearing dresses. And the dress costing 5B$, all paid for by taxing his good friend Bezos.

No your lying though Joe, the vast amount of capital is used and reused in the currency and futures markets a minority goes into start ups.
The wealth divide just keeps getting wider and wider whilst your pathetic cornball defence of it gets sillier and sillier.
You just think I’m being clever because you think the truth is a smart ass

First, Marauder would cut you a 'new one' if he saw that you did not put a comma, or a ...... after the word markets. I had to read it a time or two to get it.

You are being a bit casual to say (all?) corps go more into currency and futures. All of them? Your 'minority goes into start ups' will need a link, I don't get you there.

What are you getting at, the divide gets wider. I could use the other old adage, rich people do what they do, not-rich people do what they do. Everyone 'Does'. So, do you think that you or I or the govt should have some mission to cause an effect to the divide which you speak of? What could that be? I am serious.

I thought I would highlight this great post. Can someone give me a thumb up?
