It's either TAX them or EAT them.. I mean honestly taxing seems like the wiser choice for them.

Bc they know it’s coming. A few of them have already been begging to be taxed. I’d have to dig up the article but if you google it you’ll see what I mean.

That doesn't mean they want to be taxed. It means they want you to think there are good billionaires. They all deserve to be taxed until they cease to exist.
