Every state needs to do the same tax the wealthy now to support the needs of the people in the state who require help.

$50000000 out of $1,000,000,000 leaves those poor rich victims $950,000,000 with the ability to earn that money back. We’re not exactly stealing from widows and orphans.

what a great article thank you. I wish we could collectively wake up and stop giving them all our money

These billionaires are benefiting from a corporate welfare program. The very thing (welfare) the bitch about with the lower class. They must be taxed. They owe more than their share!

I dont understand why anyone of modest means (not a millionaire or billionaire) would think it's not ok for billionaires not to pay a fair income tax just like every else does. Otherwise, send them to the moon to develop their own world, the one that they are trying to saddle us with on this planet. That way they dont have to pay taxes for anyone other than themselves.

These billionaires use any excuse to continue to avoid their fair share of taxes. Yet, the money they dump into Republican candidates to keep their cushy lives doesn't seem to bother them at all. Let's face it, they want to control the money. Being citizens of these United States means we are equally responsible for the care of or country, its resources, and each other. If Republicans had not allowed the wealthy to covet their money and had been taxed we would not be in this position.

I just can’t understand why a full third of the population would oppose it!

Call it what you want, defend it whatever way suits you, this is still theft.
