'Tax us': Ultra-rich call for higher taxes to aid coronavirus recovery

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Disney heiress is among the millionaires calling for governments to impose higher taxes on the wealthy to help fund the recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.

"Tax us. Tax us. Tax us," an open letter from the group calling itself "Millionaires for Humanity" read.

The 83 signatories on the letter also included Abigail's brother Tim, Ben & Jerry's co-founder Jerry Greenfield, as well as British movie director Richard Curtis.

The letter stated that the problems caused and revealed by the pandemic could not be solved with charity, "no matter how generous," and that governments must take responsibility for raising the funds needed to tackle the issues themselves.

1. With the damaged state the U.S. will be in by the time tRUMP leaves office...

It will likely take the United States returning to tax rates following WW II to bring the country back from the disaster and destruction Donald Dumbass inflicted. Which has also been the problem with the country for the last five decades with republicans trying to drown the government in a bathtub, which has caused decay and decline for a majority of the American People and the U.S infrastructure.

2. The rich are strangling their Golden Goose. This level of inequality is not sustainable.

raise our taxes.

4. Trump is never going to sign a tax increase, even if the Senate would pass one.

In the meantime, if these ultra-rich people truly don't feel they are contributing their fair share, they are free to make gifts to the US Treasury. How many of them have done so?
