They're already the ones paying the taxes. The billionaires aren't. That's the whole point. Either they contribute finally or they leave and nothing changes. Either way, what's the downside?
They aren't paying the taxes because they're already using loopholes. Raising them is not the way
If they're already not paying taxes and raising them would force them to leave then, again, there's no difference except we lose a bunch of asshole billionaires. So that sounds like a net gain to me. I'm sure Russia would welcome them.
OR maybe what needs to be done is to send those loopholes to hell
What benefit do billionaires serve for the U.S.?
The only taxes they pay and the employment they create
They don't pay taxes and they don't create employment.
Stop with the myths.
If they don't create employment explain why lots of people work for their companies
Yeah, I'm not really inclined to discuss anything else with someone who tried to get me to dox myself.
When working for a company=doxxing=I can victimize myself into not answering
I'm not especially interested in you finding and harassing me at work. Sorry.
Sure, I have that much interest in Internet strangers.
Whatever, I just asked that question to prove that companies do in fact create employment, but you took the question too personally
I feel like you are being deliberately obtuse.
