By the way, a tax of up to 5% on the world’s multi-millionaires and billionaires could raise $1.7 trillion/year.

That would be enough to lift 2 billion people out of poverty and fund a global plan to end hunger.

We can't afford NOT to tax the rich.

@rbreich beyond the 40% they already pay? Why not just steal all of their money, we could give everyone millions of dollars. You want a govt once run by Donald Trump to have MORE money?

@JoshTaj @rbreich

Which billionaire pays 40% tax?

You're referring to different things. Wealth and income are not the same.
