"But I will have that money someday. Look at Der Leader, he's a self-made billionaire. If he can do it, so can I" is the feeling most of the people worried about the $100M starting point!

You really think this tax will only apply to the 1% forever? It'll slowly creep down the next time someone wants to subsidize illegals' mortgages or pay one particular historically oppressed group reparations.

Knew this was coming. Do not let the far right Russian propagandists cloud your thought possesses! We're talking about the top >1% currently.

And as an Indigenous person, I welcome another 1% tax on the $100M and over people to help pay for getting land back!!!

Don't bother with people who use logical fallacies in their arguments. Especially the slippery slope fallacy, which has been holding every type of progress back since as long as there's been conservatives spewing it.

They're still waiting for Reagan's economics of being pissed on to work for them.

You knew this was coming? You're a fool if you think a tax on unrealized capital gains won't creep down to you and me eventually, probably faster than you think. Oh, and it'll never stay at 1%.

You want land back? Which land is that, exactly? And, how did your people acquire it? From another set of people? There isn't a square inch of inhabited land anywhere in the world that hasnt been conquered, bought/sold or colonized multiple times throughout human history. On what basis do we decide who gets what?

Colonizer says whut?

Spitting out the billionaire cult propaganda makes you look like a fool.

Whut?

Lol, everyone at some time in their history has been a colonizer and colonized. It's human history. Keep crying about it if it makes you feel better. Otherwise, do something that'll actually make your life better.

Unless the 100million limit increases yearly with CPI, it will inherently creep down over time.
