Does she really think they'll just hand over, on average, just under two billion dollars with a smile on their faces?

Except it's not just two billion dollars (3%) ; it's 3% EVERY YEAR until they are no longer billionaires. It is best to leave immediately and take the 40% hit up front, because in 16 years you will be in roughly the same place (ignoring any capital gains you may have made).

If she’s elected all those gazillionares will be getting the hell out of the USA before she has time to get this confiscation passed.

And it’s not a TAX! It’s confiscation!

Perhaps the ‘rich’ will (reluctantly) decide to join our side, rather than continue virtue signalling.

Until then, they DESERVE all they get from Warren or any other Democrat, as this Conservative is sick of carrying their water - given how much they DESPISE us in return.

Not a chance. The rich lefties will do exactly the same as the unions did with Obamacare when it was said to imperil their so-called cadillac plans: They'll support it anyway knowing the RATS (and the RINOs) will name the price to cut a deal with them after it get passed, a price they'll be happy to pay just as the unions did.

Why does Washington DC deserve any of this wealth tax money?

They do not. They will pension it for themselves.

Instead create millions of worker 401k/pension accounts, divide the elite money,
especially from rich foundations Rockefeller, Ford,
who wreck havoc on the USA,

transfer tax money directly into individual owned pensions.

Call it the spoils of war the elite put upon us.

LET THE ULTRA RICH PAY

before they destroy us taxpayers.

A Soros 10% Wealth tax on Soros, given to taxpayers.

The workers already pay a Property Wealth Tax on their homes of 1%, 2% or 3%. Mega dollars are taken, $10,000 or $20,000 lost per year, as a wealth tax. We pay that.

The billionaire tax free foundations push their taxes on to us.

Let them pay before they kill us off with their liberal taxes.

Don’t forget my little poem:

Lizzie Warren took a tax,
and gave your savings 40 whacks,
When she saw what she had done,
she took some more ‘cause it was fun.

Me, I’m kinda diggin’ the 40% Exit Tax.

Very East-German-Wall-ish.
