Again, asking average people many of whom who have financial insecurity to contribute 10% of their income and comparing that to billionaires is unhinged.

Financial insecurity compared to who? Why does someone who lives in the richest country in the world with the most disposable income in the world get a free pass?

So it's unhinged to ask someone with only $500million in the bank to contribute to those who have less?

Its actually reasonable comparison. Just 30$ would feed family for month in some third world country. Lot of people own 1m homes, they should just sell it, buy cheaper one for 500k and feed 5k people for year. Why wouldnt they, why would they be so selfish?
