They can afford to spend billions to fight a tax on their billions.

They could do even more than 5% and the filthy rich would still be able to afford that yacht. For example Mark Zuckerberg throwing away $80B and wasting years on the Metaverse, something that clearly wasn’t gaining traction and even renamed his company to Meta, and yet it means nothing.
Absolutely nothing. He will still be unfathomably rich, will get all his money back and more in time and nothing in his standard of living or lifestyle will change.

It’s crazy how they can benefit from people’s labor and not care about their wellbeing. Sociopathic really

At this point I’ll only accept a 95% billionaire tax or they can opt out for a minimum of one year in jail.

7 million Americans who were insured last year are uninsured this year. Trump pulled the federal subsidies from the exchange and these people had to make a judgement call between health insurance and keeping a roof over their heads or food in their bellies.
This is fundamentally wrong. It has to stop.
It’s clear that even on a move as compromising as the ACA paying for health care will always be under fire from Republicans.
It’s time to demand a better, concrete option that can’t possibly be taken away.

I pay property taxes on my largest investment (my house). Only fair they pay property taxes on their biggest investments too.

A wealth tax is unconstitutional unless apportioned amongst the several states by population, defeating the entire purpose of a wealth tax. That’s why the Senate is not taking it up.

It amazes me that people let things get this bad. The billionaires more or less already won even if I’ll keep voting for something approaching sanity.

People need to pay for their own health.

Sure, but if I can’t get another yacht, I might have to start another slave-rape concern. **Ball’s in your court, poories!!!**
