In an interview the founder of Scamazon is trying to move the discussion around wealth taxes away from himself and his Epstein class. He's only got one thing right of the "Tax Wealth, Not Work" movement namely, don't tax work. Wealth still has to tax wealth, otherwise it won't solve anything.

No dude fuck that.

I pay my shit and you should pay the same exact percentage of total income that I pay.

I worked a 10 hour shift the other day at $20/hr but after taxes its like I worked one hour for free and this will happen every single shift I will work until I die.

but meanwhile this dude has more money than god and wants to weasel out of his fair share.

What the fuck is up with that? I don't mind paying my fair share I like roads and people to have housing and food if they need it because I'm not a greedy pig.

But why do you and I have to do that and people like this get rewarded for how much they avoid doing that? That starts to weigh on me more and more lately.

He doesn't make "Income". All his money in all invested and "cannot be taxed"

But he can get loans on his investments and is able to live off of that...tax free.

if YOU own a house and got a mortgage, you could do the same but oops, you need to pay property taxes,etc.

I see a problem here.
