If something happens and their shareprice drops will Bernie lead the charge to reimburse them?

Anyone who supports this idea is a fool.

Remember the income tax back in 1914?

A small tax on upper income people. Look at the nightmare that has evolved into.

It wouldn’t be long before this billionaire’s tax would be a “one time tax” on anyone with over a million dollars in assets.

Here’s an old hippie bum who has done nothing in his whole life but hold various public offices, and his plan is to take the wealth of people who have actually worked to create something useful. Once that money is p*ssed away (and you know it will be), then what?

Wow! This is a very incendiary posture that puts marxist ideology front and center.

The parasites will eat this up and the majority of Americans may be hoodwinked into believing this is a valid “request”.

The commies are in full court press mode. Seems to me this is intended to push the parasite vs producer paradigm to the breaking point, as in attempting to force Americans to choose one path or the other under false pretenses.

I’m sure they’ll stick around and pay it and not move their money to Monaco 30 seconds before it ever becomes law.

It’s just a drop in the bucket compared to the trillions that Congress is spending.

The Marxist left does not do anything punitive, “one time.”

One time? They would spend that money in record time and then what?

But it’s never a “one time tax”.

What would come next ?
“One time” raids on IRAs, 401(K)s ?

(That’s been talked about many times).

Who cares? This is Blue-on-Blue that we’re talking about.

Tell me which one of these billionaires supports the MAGA agenda, and why should I want to preserve their billions so that they can tear down America with their riches and ship your jobs overseas or replace you at here at home with foreign scabs?

Add it all up and it does not come close to the levels of deficient spending congress is doing now.

Calling it a “tax” sounds so much nicer than “extortion.”

Works for me, with those two.

Throw in Bill Gates and George Soros too, while you are at it.

because most of these billionaires are pro BLM social justice warriors

Yeah, I'm sick of seeing Amazon pimp the whole BanditsLootersMurderers con on Prime. They've even got a whole run of black 'B' movies called "Black Stories."

But it's not right to target Amazon's owners simply because they're rich. The money is not sequestered in some off shore account. It's tied up in a Corporation that employs thousands. Sanders would know that if he weren't some old, shriveled, wrinkled, demented coot.
