    Saying the billionaire don’t have a billion dollars, so where does the cash come from to pay the tax? This is a real question and it’s the reason no one has figured out how to tax them.

    Like i said, the “wealth” elon has is backed from stocks at 350 p/e. That money isn’t real. U effectively want to tax something that isn’t real.

    Also, is you get rid of a billionaire, how does that help the people? I’m give you an example. We take all of elon musks assets and socks. Go to the open market to sell them. No one buys them because they don’t want the stocks taken from them, so the people buy them. The sticks are now worth 1/100 of the original value because elons companies are high P/E stocks. So know you turned a “trillion” into 100 billion that the people paid for. You then use that 100 billion to pay for services. It’s gone in 8 months.

    Next year you are have no service, no money, and possibly down companies that failed.

    I don’t see the point.
