A one-time 5% wealth tax would bring Silicon Valley’s billionaires’ wealth back to where it was just 31 days ago, on September 7.
When it was "just" 178% higher than on January 1, 2023.
They’d rather let 3 million people lose their health insurance than let that happen.

Rather than paying their fair share of taxes, Sergey Brin, Pether Thiel, and Patrick Collison prefer to spend tens of millions to manipulate the vote.
Stupefying levels of greed and lack of civil-mindedness.

I always ask people "how long is a million seconds?" Then i ask then "how long is a billion seconds?"
A million seconds is about 11.5 days. A billion seconds is almost 32 YEARS.
A million dollars would change almost everyone's life. NOBODY needs a billion dollars.
