America isn’t asking for the rich to pay more. We are asking for the rich to pay their fair share.

If they left, you'd be losing all the future income tax they wouldn't be paying anyways

In ancient Rome, only the richest citizens were allowed to pay taxes - it was considered a huge honour

The irony: they’re spending millions to avoid paying taxes.

He actually said that if they leave you’re missing out on their future income taxes, which they don’t actually pay already. I don’t understand how they think that’s gonna persuade anybody.

It needs to be equal. If I am paying 30% of my income and WEALTH in taxes, then the millionaires and billionaires need to be taxed at 30% as well. On everything. If I’m forced to pay 30% of my income, the wealthy should as well!!

You know how you get around that. Higher federal income taxes. Doesn’t matter where they go. Also, it’s been proven that after $100 million of wealth you could tax them up to 40% on everything after that and it really wouldn’t affect their lifestyle.

Flat tax it all, no deductions, no write offs. State and federal at a flat % and NO wiggle room. Also 10 year rolling capital gains taxes. Today you are paying in the gains for 2016
