    Good for him.

    If we want more tax dollars, eliminate QSBS stacking that allows $750m in cap gains tax free, charge a tax on loans against assets like stocks, get rid of the carried interest loophole, end the step-up on assets distributed via inheritances, fix the corporate tax strategies that the NY Times documented https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/business/economy/offshore...

    But even better, would be to fix the spending & fraud problems and implement Milei style reforms that stop government salaries for elected officials for deficit spending...

    Sounds like a good investment to save $13B+

      TBH, it sounds more like robbery to me. That is dictated by the majority doesn’t make it right.

    The idea of a "one time" tax is so stupid that any person, regardless of income, should oppose it. It just makes no sense whatsoever.
