A Group of Billionaires Want to Be Taxed More
24th June 2019
And if you believe that one, they’ll tell you another one.
Anyone with a lot of money who’s worried that the government doesn’t have enough has a quick and easy route: Just give the government your money. And they aren’t doing that, so, unless you think that billionaires are too dim to think of this possibility, that’s not what this is about.
Taxation is about force, force used by the government to confiscate property. If people are asking to government to confiscate property, are they focused on their own property? No, they’re focused on somebody else’s property. Look for the person (or persons) that will be harmed by this tax scheme, and harmed more than the people proposing it, and you will find the true target. Sure, the proposers will take a hit, but the true target will get hit worse, I guarantee it.
