I’m really shocked there isn’t more comment about this on my feed today. This is a wildly unserious thing to say.
He’s not Trump and Commerce isn’t one of the star cabinet positions. But this is just absolute nonsense.

I suspect higher than Biden’s for sure. Because they didn’t want to get out in front of him so much. And he wasn’t on tv much etc.
More than Obama? I have no idea.
Strong “I’m not a doctor, I just play one on tv” vibes.
BUT
I’m not sure the unelected billionaire in the cabinet should be saying how the one weird trick to solve all of our financial problems is to get just a 1m billionaires to pay $5m.
But this program is a payment. And then they will have to pay taxes on their global income.
But the schools will be blowing up
Eventually.
(Although I guess he’s saying it will bring in $10 trillion)
And then, why shouldn’t foreigners pay for all of our taxes?!?!?
I mean sure this is appealing, in kind of the most stupid way one could think of?
Sure. Who doesn’t want that. But … could anybody take it seriously?
Also. I’m not sure what the 3% is?
That’s the “3%”
I thought that might be it.
HES SUPPOSED TO BE A FUCKING BOND TRADER!
It’s also just absolutely amazing that it’s like, we 0.3% of billionaires don’t want to fund the government, but if we let in 1m foreign billionaires we could solve all of our problems.
Are you referring to there being some tariff revenue in there?
I thought he was talking about the gold cards brining in so many trillions.
Idk. It’s so incomprehensible. I just don’t know.
Wealthy people!
Corruption is no longer a crime. Fraud is no longer a crime. And I’m certain property will be guaranteed. And they can now be in the government themselves.
