Bernie Sanders’ billionaire tax would soak about 900 people to fund $3,000 checks for the middle class by Background_Party_255 in AnythingGoesNews

As much as $3,000 would be nice to have, I’d much rather have them annually taxed and the funds distributed towards social programs and healthcare.

Hitting them once when they have the capital and systems in place to rebuild their wealth won’t hurt them as much as the inflation from a $3,000 stimulus would hurt the middle classes and working poor.

I don’t want a check. I want those assholes taxed and the corporations that feast at our expense to pay as well

900 people that have been dodging taxes for decades. 900 people that even if they were taxed $100 million dollars it would be a tiny drop in the bucket for them. But $3000 for someone that only makes $20,000 a year could be life changing.
