Rashida Tlaib and Bernie Sanders try to tax the rich to help normal people? Yeah, the other members of Congress aren't going to allow that.

Does it include bonuses? Elon doesn't actually get paid a salary for being CEO of Tesla. He gets stock as bonuses if he meets goals. They just fought to pay him the largest bonus in history at $56 billion (more than the company has ever earned in profit). They also just setup a new bonus for him that would pay out $1 trillion in stock to him... That new package would put his pay at 1,000,000:1 to the average employee.

Probably should do something about the various loop holes that allow them to access wealth without paying taxes. The collateral backed loan thing is a big one.
I'm sure it will sail through both houses unimpeded! 😉
how fucking stupid do you have to be to introduce the "pay oligarchs less" bill to the oligarch cheer-leading squad
