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 Any wealth tax on Illinois billionaires would result in a severe reduction in the number of said billionaires domiciled in Illinois. They don't get to be billionaires by paying taxes.
Effectively, the US is a tax haven. The states know this.
@original_peterm @theleftistlawyer this has been proven time and time again to not be true. Billionaires love to threaten to leave but never follow through.
