minus-square@JoshuaFalkenlink23•8 days agoI haven’t looked at any numbers, but surely if we taxed billionaires enough to turn them back into millionaires, we’d probably not have to tax anyone else at all.
minus-square@elriklinkEnglish17•8 days agoThe combined wealth of the ~750 US billionaires at the end of 2023 was about $5.2T. Total individual federal income tax revenue in 2023 was $2.2T. So it seems non-billionaires could go federal tax free for 2 full years.
