Warren’s proposed wealth tax would be “an annual 2% tax on every dollar of net worth above $50 million and a 3% tax on every dollar of net worth above $1 billion.” So *punching numbers into calculator* it would never be 100% of what Bill Gates has left. https://twitter.com/teddyschleifer/status/1192188119417704448
Bill Gates on a wealth tax:
"I've paid over $10 billion in taxes. I've paid more than anyone in taxes. If I had to pay $20 billion, it's fine."
"But when you say I should pay $100 billion, then I'm starting to do a little math over what I have left over."
Y’all are annoying

Sad scenario:
NBA fan who bought 2 tickets to #Clippers game when Kawhi signed.
"Dad, why isn't Kawhi playing tonight?"
"So the multi-millionaire can be rested for the playoffs."
😔
Are @LAClippers and fans really OK with this?
Y’all, the billionaires are asking for a safe space - you know, in addition to the entire US economy and political lobbying industry. https://twitter.com/business/status/1191886520732602369
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon tells CNBC that Elizabeth Warren “uses some pretty harsh words" that "some would say vilifies successful people” https://bloom.bg/2ChlB0v
“I’d rather make $60,000 on my own than $500,000 working for someone else. We are not built the same.”
You right, we are not built the same cuz I ain’t built like a damn fool lmfao
Even if someone was asking Bill Gates to pay $100 billion in taxes, and nobody is, he would still have more money left over than Oprah and Richard Branson have combined. In reality, his rate would either be 3% (Warren) or 8% (Sanders). This billionaire pity party is pathetic. https://twitter.com/teddyschleifer/status/1192188119417704448
