Bernie Sanders wants Elon Musk to pay a one-time $27.5 billion tax
« on: August 07, 2020, 08:59:59 pm »

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is one of four billionaires that could be forced to pay a one-time multi-billion dollar tax if a bill introduced by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is passed through the United States’ Senate.

The “Make Billionaires Pay Act” was introduced by Sanders, an Independent from Vermont, along with Democrats Ed Markey from Massachusetts and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York.

The act proposes a one-time, 60% tax on any wealth gains that billionaires have made between March 18th, 2020, and January 1st, 2021. The money made from imposing the tax on some of the nation’s wealthiest people would be used to pay out-of-pocket-healthcare expenses for Americans.

Just one of many new taxes you can expect to see from the democrat-communists once they regain power in DC...

Perhaps then you will see a revolution coming from both sides of the fence.

What a strange way to spell "Communist".

Boshelvik Bernie doesn't realize that there are other countries  in the world that Americans can expat to before, if and when the Fed wealth confiscation scythe comes slicing thorugh.  Ask Cuomo and Deblazzio how that similar taxation plan is working.

I have a really hard time with this concept.

My employer based insurance ended Jan. 1, 2015. My best estimate would be that it was on the higher end of a "Silver" plan.

My part was taken pretax for myself and the wife--$296/month.

Due to just the way shit happens we could have the same or better insurance for "free".

I can't stand that. My "free" insurance comes from Rhodesia (wink).

A couple we know. He just had some surgery. He is mid to late 60s. $2.1 million dollar hospital bill... But the insurance covers that. Right?

Yes. He is a Vet. Yes. He worked for the DOE (or ancillary) so he is entitled. Right?

Right.
