They like to point out that their wealth is "on paper" only and it can't be taxed until it's realized.

I vote we just tax them on paper. Make them give away part of their unrealized investments every year, without selling it. The government can hold onto stocks, etc just as well as any billionaire. They should just seize some percent of their total unrealized wealth every year, full stop.

Close the loopholes. Tax the loans they take out as income. Then add an inequality tax that scales based on the difference between their total compensation vs that of the lowest paid employee or contractor in their company and any related companies, with an additional modifier to penalize layoffs. Make it impossible to get rich without raising everyone else up with you.

There will be a day when we stop calling this shit "losses" and then comment on it accordingly, this is not that day.

They aren't affected because they haven't lost shit. The banks won't call in their loans because of this, they haven't announced selling their shares that they can't back out of.

The only one of these in realistic danger of losing it all is the Muskrat, because his wealth was made up of make believe and delusion also known as the TSLA stock that has been ridiculously overpriced for a while, even Spaced probably his only worth-wile private company has lost billions in commitments because of his stupidity, and that company is kept alive by the Us government, so when inevitably Trump turns on him that shit is dust too

Tax them into bankruptcy

Make them work 10-12 hour shifts, 6 days a week, at the same job and pay rate as their lowest paid part-time employees.

I feel like they'll somehow use this to get ahead in the long term somehow. The fucking parasites.

They can afford to be taxed more, raise the wages of all employees to live more than comfortably, offer better benefits to all employees, and significantly lower prices.

Well, at least there's one good thing to come out of this presidency.
