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.

What benefit do billionaires serve for the U.S.?

[–] Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The only taxes they pay and the employment they create

If they don't create employment explain why lots of people work for their companies

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
