Now he only get three cars instead of five!
2 things. I know we all know this but it bears repeating so we dont accidentally repeat their framing: Gates was, intentionally or not, speaking in hyperbole. Warren’s wealth tax would definitely not take 100 billion off of him. Second of all, regarding that comment above mine about the 3 cars: I googled most expensive cars and one is the Lamborghini Veneno, which costs $4.5 million dollars. One billion dollars divided by 4.5 million? 222. Bill Gated could have a fucking fleet of two hundred of the most expensive Lamborghini cars in the world and he would STILL HAVE 6 BILLION DOLLARS.
As long as EVERY SINGLE PERSON working directly or indirectly for a billionaire doens’t make a living wage, has paid for healthcare, can pay for their own and their children’s education and gets paid on sick days - that billionaire should just shut up and pair their taxes. I’m so sick and tired of all that whining, no one MAKES a billion dollar, people who you most likely exploited made it for you.
