    “While US billionaires became $1.5 trillion richer last year, the average worker in America has just $955 in retirement savings,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders. “That’s why I’ll be in LA this week fighting for a #WealthTax on #billionaires.”

    Excerpt: "The proposal has also drawn opposition from Democratic California Gov. #GavinNewsom, who has close ties to #SiliconValley elites—some of the most vocal opponents of the state wealth tax plan. (Notably, the billionaire CEO of the most valuable company in the world, #Nvidia, said earlier this year that he is 'perfectly fine' with the proposal as others in his class pumped millions into the effort to defeat it.)"

  6. 'Enough Is Enough': #BernieSanders, #RoKhanna Propose #BillionairesTax to Raise $4.4 Trillion | Common Dreams

    by Julia Conley, Mar 02, 2026

    “We can no longer tolerate a corrupt tax code that enables billionaires to pay a lower tax rate than the average worker,” said Sanders (I-Vt.) “In a democratic society, we cannot tolerate 60% of our people living paycheck to paycheck—struggling to pay for housing, food, and healthcare—while 938 billionaires have become $1.5 trillion richer. We cannot continue a trend in which, over the past 50 years, $79 trillion in wealth in our country has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. Enough is enough. Billionaires cannot have it all.”

  7. Do they want to call it a "#BillionairesTax" rather than a #LandTax (most rich people own lots of #property/land, and in #BlindTrusts we might add) because…

    …ultimately they want to use it to actually go after #cryptocurrency holders…

    Who are *not* billionaires.

    Tax the #landMonopolists and #breakThemUp (along with #BigTech, and #BigPharma).
