Bernie Sanders<\/a>, I-Vt., Ed Markey, D-Mass., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Oh look! It\u2019s the three biggest wastes of oxygen in the United States Senate. Two of these three have never spent any time in the \u201cDreaded Private Sector, and the third, Kirsten Gillibrand, was a lawyer, so also generally useless.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>The \u201cMake Billionaires Pay Act\u201d would impose a one-time 60% tax on wealth gains made by billionaires between March 18, 2020, and Jan. 1, 2021. The funds would be used to pay for out-of-pocket health-care expenses for all Americans for a year. As of Aug. 5, the bill would tax $731 billion in wealth accumulated by 467 billionaires since March 18, according to a press release. If passed, the bill would tax billionaires on wealth accumulated through the end of the year, however. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>First, it\u2019s not going to pass. I\u2019m not sure even Pelosi\u2019s House of Representatives would do anything as stupid as consider it. Yes, you will get other useless idiots, such as Alexandria Occasional-Cortex to vote for it, however, it will be DOA in the Senate and President Trump will hit it with be biggest veto hammer he can find.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/trumpinator.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-22903\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/trumpinator-300x206.jpg?resize=300%2C206\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/trumpinator.jpg?resize=300%2C206&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/trumpinator.jpg?w=320&amp;ssl=1 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Second, the billionaires don\u2019t actually have that kind of money. They generally have very little cash on hand. Most of this \u201cwealth\u201d is on paper only. In order to convert it into cash, they would have to sell off assets, and doing that would crash the stock prices of the companies they founded and run.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/fa\/2b\/86\/fa2b86f544a3a0066e7d94b1763a0fee.png?resize=310%2C305&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"310\" height=\"305\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The third reason is easy. These rich fools tend to donate to all the progressive causes. If these same progressives decide to ruin them for their communist utopia, they will take action. At the very least, they will all become conservative republicans overnight. Or they might just leave the country, take their assets with them and surrender their citizenship.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Under the bill, tech and other business titans who have seen their wealth shoot up during the pandemic would take huge charges. Amazon and Walmart, for example, have both seen their stocks grow as Americans increasingly relied on their services during stay-at-home orders during the pandemic. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>So, the very actions of the Progressive Liberal Democratic CommuNazis, locking people up in their homes and driving small businesses into bankruptcy, are why they want to steal the assets of the billionaires? Do they see the obvious dichotomy in this? Oh who am I kidding? Of course they don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>As to why these fools came up with this idiocy, it\u2019s fairly simple. Bernie Sanders is a communist and wants to recreate the Soviet Union in the United States. Ed \u201cGet your Ice Cream here!\u201d Markey is in a tough primary fight with a real communist and could lose, thanks to all the transient college and university students in the People\u2019s Democratik Republik of Taxachusetts. Gillibrand is just stupid and has no common sense at all. Nope, this is just election year \u201cOh look!
