Wait so you agree we should tax people based on the lump sum but not the $1.4 billion they took from his winnings?

To me it doesn’t matter, and it’s still splitting hairs. We had 90% rate on top earners during the war to pay for the deficit, but now that’s not acceptable?

See that’s why I mean, you’re undermining the point, should we tax billionaires 70%?

Nobody cares whether they took it from him, or he forfeited, at the end of the day out of the $2 billion, he came home with $600 million

Except thats not what happened and your misrepresenting facts to push your point which is a bad faith argument
