    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

              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

                    Yeah, I’m not really inclined to discuss anything else with someone who tried to get me to dox myself.
