The 500 richest people gained a trillion dollars in wealth this past year.
Should we just be grateful to them for doing so much for the rest of us or should we tax them a bit more too?
I think they have convinced many of us convinced that we should just shut up about taxing them.

This is basically all just the stock market going straight up, and they can lose 1 trillion if the stock market drops. You gonna give them their taxes back? Nobodys stopping you from just holding Tesla and having your wealth increase or decrease proportionally to Elon.
but wait, I thought crypto was the scam not the stock market XD
Don't worry, it will all trickle down to the measly poor.

We give tax breaks for business loss.
Lol yep. This has been a large errosion of wealth for the middle and lower classes. But it's cool. They were satiated with multi hundred dollar checks for months on end and now feel like they can command an upper hand with $20/hr job.
Sssuuurrprise everything doubled in price.

Stock appreciation is not a profit. Sto ck losses are imaginary losses.
We dont tax either.
My opinion is this: it doesn't matter how these rich people earned their money, on their own or with the help of wealth managers, if this money is earned legally, then everything is fine. Everyone has the right to earn, and if he earns a lot, then why should we introduce a wealth tax, because it's a huge effort to earn a lot in an honest way. I believe that only scammers and people who have earned a fortune in an unfair way should pay huge taxes or simply be put in jail. But I urge everyone to get behind the private rich, because they do so many useful things for you and me, they donate money to various foundations and shelters, help people with difficulties, and we want to tax them. That's not right!
