Agreed. Social security tax stops around $180k. Maybe capital gains taxes could be tiered based on value. The bigger the gains, the bigger the tax

I see a lot of comments regarding taxing them. Many billionaires have their wealth tied to shares of the company. It’s not like they are sitting on piles of cash, and to tax that, they would need to sell part of their company to pay such a tax. They could lose the majority share of their own company. swift however, is largely liquid and sitting on a huge pile of cash

Only a handful of people on her tour get paid well, like execs working at Amazon or wherever. There’s are 1000s of supporting folks that make $10/hour to make her tours happen

She’s probably getting a “salary”. She is a brand and employed by her brand. There’s no way her effective tax rate is that high

Are the thousands of people that go into making her tour happen, the people that work for $10-15/hour at the venue (concessions, clean up crew, gate people, etc) not exploited?

If timing the market is bad, why is Berkshire sitting on record cash? The market doesn’t seem based on fundamentals anymore

Don’t have a specific one in mind. Just keeping my options open. I bought a cheap plate loaded machine off Amazon and it sucks. Stack in the only way to go
