A 1% annual wealth tax on billionaires in Illinois would, by itself, balance the budget.

A 2% wealth tax on billionaires would pay for universal single payer healthcare for everyone in Illinois.

Tax the billionaires.

@theleftistlawyer taxation, especially of billionaires, at the national level is not about revenue. Especially in the US.

We don't need to balance the budget. We need to tax billionaires to rein in their power. The only reason to have a billion dollars or more is to use the ridiculous excess to adversely influence our democracy. Billionaires need to be taxed until they are no longer billionaires.
