Large numbers of people don't understand what a billionaire is.

If you, like most of us, ONLY make $1 million a year, it would take you 1,000 years to make $1 billion.

Or, if REALLY lie most of us, you make $50,000 a year, it would take you 20,000 years.

TWENTY THOUSAND YEARS!

If you tax someone who makes a billion a year at a 90% top rate, they would "only" take home $100 million a year.

@dcjohnson How many billionaires make 1 billion a year? Billionaires are folk who have accumulated that much wealth, not folk who earn that much each year. However, they should still be taxed to the hilt 😃
