    Even taxing him 1% on his wealth, once, would dramatically change the shape of public finances in the US

    If there was an American in charge that actually wanted to use public funds for their purpose, improving the country and the lives of everyone in it, it could genuinely change the country forever in a multitude of positive ways

    Taxing one person, a single percent of their wealth, once.

    That’s how much he has squeezed out of your economy. Him reaching down the back of his sofa once, would change one of the biggest economies in the world forever.

    You need to take a lot more than 1% to reverse the growth (which is what this needs to do, they already have too much)

    And there’s more than one of them.

    Why every person in your country isn’t screaming for this is crazy to me, it’s your money they’re hoarding, your future they have stolen
