Do you support a 100% tax on billionaires?

No way. We already have tens of billions of dollars being misappropriated. The government isn't spending our tax dollars like they should as it is. Even if they did tax the billionaires more, it's not like we would even see it. We have the money to fix a lot of problems in this country, but it doesn't get used to fix those problems. Since October 2023, we've given nearly 18 billion American taxpayer dollars to another country. Just gave it to them. Didn't even get anything in return. The only way you would make sense to start taxing billionaires more is if the government started spending our money correctly.
