His argument that billionaires barely exist is pretty rich considering he built a career attacking trans people who are barely 1 percent of the population

[Kllgg]

If the billionaires are a “drop in the bucket”, then it wouldn’t be a big deal to tax them. So let’s tax them even more

[Alex-cwrz]

Imagine having so much money that you could fund a government of a country with 330 million people in it for a day, let alone two weeks! That is ridiculous

[templarw]

"There are only 700 billionaires." That's 700 too many.

[JoelCarli]

Great. Matt Walsh appeared on my screen and I reflexively punched a hole through my laptop.

[willardchi]

The 1920's version of trickle-down economics is what brought about the Great Depression. FDR raised taxes on the rich to create jobs and fix the problem.

[elisawhitman]

Matt Walsh has made an entire career out of protecting the powerful and persecuting (and even directly endangering) the powerless. Calling him immoral is an understatement.

[Alex-cwrz]

If it wasn't for the government built and maintained roads, electricity, Internet etc. Bazos would not have made $1, he should be thanking the government for ever cent they let him take.

[demonsorrows]

I'm 37. Ever since I was a kid, my parents always said the same thing, "the system was deliberately broken by the greedy and corrupt so that the rich get richer, the poor stay poor, and the middle class shrinks paying for them both while making less and less."

With all of it, when the punishment for crimes is a fine, it's a punishment only meant to keep the poor in line. The rich can commit crimes and pay pocket change as a punishment for the millions they make without life-changing consequences, while the non-wealthy can lose everything and remain trapped in a life of debt and struggle.

The law should be changed so that fines are determined based on your income, wealth, and detrimental consequences to others from your actions. Otherwise, fines are just to ruin poor people.

[christianauldridge]

If you’re making 600k a year on just income you damn well better be a millionaire. Wtf is he saying it feels like he thinks the irs taxes 600k net worth.

[aplund]

Billionaire destitution is a concept I'm not sure I'll ever understand.

[Alex-cwrz]

I don't remember the tax rate being particularly high in 1929, however I do remember the way the US got out of the great depression was by increasing tax.

[Joeljaboy]

That’s the problem, Matt. There are a minority of billionaires but they have more political sway than the majority by scores, leaps and bounds

[Iban-Underground]

They forgot the "to children." Part in the title.

[tsmith]

Did he really just say billionaires get screwed MORE by the system (THAT THEY CREATED) than everyone else?!?!?!?!
People that unironically watch the Daily Wire shouldnt be allowed to vote, or even leave their home until theyve watched their state mandated hour of Majority Report every day. After 2 years of that they can take a test to determine if they are competent enough to vote.

[ChaseAdams-gc]

Google says the 760 billionaires in the US have a combined wealth of $6.22 trillion. $16 billion a day * 365.25 = $5.844 trillion. So, if all the money in the government disappeared today, and we taxed the rich at 100% of their wealth, it would fund the government for over a year, according to Mr. Walsh's numbers...

[OsefKincaid]

How do you make 600k a year and not become a millionnaire

[WaLTeRDeFiNiS]

So 700 billioners are insignificant to Walshy... but 20 something trans people wanting to do sports, that's significant to Walshy

[zentai]

those who own 90% of the wealth need to pay at least 90% of the taxes. not really complicated if you as me

[elisawhitman]

Taxing billionaires isn’t just about collecting revenue or ensuring they pay their fair share. It’s also about abolishing the oligarchy.
