Same with the whole don’t tax them because they create our jobs etc.. that’s how they got to be billionaires by creating jobs. It’s not as a favor to you it’s to make money from your output. You owe a days work not fealty and they should pay to live and work here just like you do….
We are taxed fairly high here in California, but we still have way more billionaires than any other state. As of 2024 California 186 billionaires, New York was second with 135 billionaires, followed by Florida w/78, & Texas w/73. The billionaires aren’t gonna leave this honey pot in any great #s
North Korea and Russia are open to all of Trumps buddies. So are parts of the Middle East. Come on folks, let's all chip in a couple bucks for one way plane tickets for them.
If that’s true, then all of those millionaires/billionaires can GTFO of our country! They’re responsible for this mess we’re in/put our democracy at risk by electing that corrupt orange felonious filth!
I trying to wrap my head around why that would be a bad thing. Again though, mustn’t conflate millionaires and billionaires. At $1 per second, it takes 11 days to reach a million. At the same rate, it takes 32 YEARS to reach a billion.
Many 401 k “millionaires” but billionaires are rare.
They got to be wealthy thanks to the infrastructure, educational system, and political freedom of this country. Fuck them for being such selfish ingrates.
They won't leave, because every other country actually taxes the Rich at a way higher rate than the U.S. If we taxed the Rich at a flat 35% with no loopholes, we could have Universal Healthcare. And a lot of other programs would easily be paid for, and the Rich would still be Rich.
Let them go. They're dead weight. They pay less % in tax than we do. They disproportionately use things like roads. Like Jeff Besos. We pay more to pave and repair roads for his vans than he does.
Perhaps if their personal wealth was not held offshore & their businesses finances were not specifically structured to avoid localised taxes for premises, staff costs & profitability *then* it might seem unfair to tax the agglomeration of wealth in too small a population with far too much influence.
Point is they avoid paying taxes, F45 sounded like a babbling idiot... You can't tax millionaires they'll leave the country, but millionaires pay taxes. Which is it tax & stay or tax & leave.
Are we supposed to think this is a bad thing? High time we stopped coddling these blood suckers, and make them pay their fair share. Other countries would, and they know it.
Perhaps it is this that they fear from globalization, nowhere left to run and hide from paying taxes somewhere where you park your arse and your wealth.
I hear by pardon every woman who was fucked by Robert F Kennedy. Please explain why you even did it with him. He’s so fucking ugly. I could hear him mumbles while he’s fucking. Mumbles Kennedy loves heroin. You were a heroin addict like him and that’s why we forgive you. You must’ve been drunk
So, this is a way we can get our scummy oligarchs to self deport? We don’t want them, just the wealth they have stolen through special deals, tax fraud, and collusion to rewrite the tax laws to favor their kinds of income.
Given the utter failure of the billionaires and millionaires to improve society? I say good riddance. Or tax them and build this country back. Taxing them is win-win.
It’s funny because China makes their wealthy pay a tax and yet they still have all their major corporations. Tesla pays over 200 million in taxes to China but nothing to the US. Apple’s plants are over there and they pay taxes on them. It’s just here because people are gullible
Great share. Sooooo many of the talking points are just laundered oligarchy. "the debt problem" rich Americans own overwhelming amount of debt the government owes. So of course they are worried about getting that paid back.
"efficiency and corruption" bs, and bingo for the one you're pointing out.
If it is that easy to get rid of the oligarchy then we should definitely raise taxes on them. Let them go to some other country and fuck things all up and leave us alone.
I never got this threat. Like if all the wealthy people leave the country .... then what? We're the ones doing all the work. We'll just seize anything not bolted down and continue on.
Let them leave so that the people left are people willing to pay their fair share of taxes, so that our country can survive. They won’t leave because other countries actually tax billionaires. What a farce.
If that's true, then we need to tax them 100% on every dollar they make. Whatever it takes to get them out of here, the better. Billionaires aren't necessary!! They're not an asset. They're a detriment. The reason we have the majority of our problems can all be traced back to the wealthy.
The millionaires that Trump is worried about leaving the country have already established residences outside the US and stashed their money in the Caymans or Swiss banks.
exactly what purpose do these people think millionaires and billionaires serve in this country if they're not being taxed? You can leave and other people will take your place in the economy. Goodbye.
Trump doesn’t support taxing millionaires and billionaires because they PAID him to veto any legislation that would raise their taxes. Stop the bullshit!
I am all for the millionaires and billionaires to leave the country. They are not adding to society, they are subtracting. Heck, I actually help them pack.
Buying their 500 million dollar yachts, paying their foreign labor force minimum wages, the tax breaks and money they have saved from not paying all their employees right, can afford to buy jets and palaces
It’s the same ones that believe the myth that those millionaires/billionaires will pay employees better and have more jobs with the money they save on taxes…
If they would leave, all the more reason to tax them. Our country doesn't need those greedy disloyal douche bags who would leave the country where they became rich just to hoard more money. Let them go. Good riddance!
Lol no they won't. How many are federally funded businesses that would lose those funds if they left the US? We know Elon won't go away anytime soon unfortunately.
“Wealthy people pay the tax” who the fuck are you kidding? You are going to make sure they DON’T pay their share of taxes!!! I think this country would be much happier if wealthy people did the right thing 🇺🇸😪
Good let them leave. Then the focus of the entire budget will not be focused on cutting programs and services for regular people to support their tax cuts. Good riddance to rubbish.

Every country should stop the millionaires,billionaires welfare payments !!!
I'm sure they won't leave if their effective tax rate is 25%, instead of less than 10%.
Other countries have wealth taxes.
Where will they go?
Guatemala?
Many 401 k “millionaires” but billionaires are rare.
Shit if they leave the country
Run US corporations by TEAM meetings?
FFS they benefit from educated workers & infrastructure
They profit from the purchases of US citizens
So why not pay the tax that creates those benefits for them?
Most of the world will tax them in some manner.
Bring on those taxes! Pronto!
...all looking for investors.
But it sounds plausible, and where there’s smoke…😏
It is so believable 😂
I found it a while ago and my head said "yeah that is plausible"
Then I learned it's not true 😅
I won't use that again!
"efficiency and corruption" bs, and bingo for the one you're pointing out.
So this whole thing is BS. They won't leave the country, if they do they'll still be taxed by the IRS.
How can we get them all to leave?
They don’t invest in the country, so them moving away wouldn’t make 1 difference.
Like Besos paying 0
Like Trump paying $70 over five years?
Where are they going?
