I'm glad to see this. So many people don't understand how ridiculous it is that we aren't taxing the billionaires more. Their rate of wealth accumulation is INCREASING and fucking fast too. Elon missed his latest chance to hit trillionare status but it's still almost inevitable. The runaway wealth accumulation by this relatively tiny handful of people is actively destroying any semblance of democracy in our country and restoring tax levels to the same as even 50 years ago would go a long way towards fixing the issue.

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.
But I might be a billionaire here soon and I don't want to pay that tax myself...
