What Billionaires Would Pay Under Elizabeth Warren's Plan
If Warren is elected president, this is what the country's richest will have to pay .💸
Good news – they’ll still be extraordinarily rich
Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s new wealth tax proposal would take in 6 cents on every dollar over $1 billion in net worth. Billionaire Bill Gates had this to say on CNBC: When you say I should pay $100 billion, okay then I’m starting to do a little math about what I have left over. Sorry, I’m just kidding. The Warren campaign trolled Gates by releasing a tax calculator for billionaires. Here’s what America’s richest people would actually cough up.
- Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon
Net Worth: $112 Billion
Would pay: $6.66 Billion
- Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft
Net Worth: $107 Billion
Would pay: $6.38 Billion
- Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway
Net Worth: $87.5 Billion
Would pay $5.19 Billion
- Mark Zuckerberg CEO of Facebook
Net Worth: $73.4 Billion
Would Pay: $4.3 Billion
- Larry Page CEO of Alphabet
Net Worth: $62.6 Billion
Would Pay: $3.70 Billion
Gates — worth an estimated $106 billion, according to Forbes — would have to pay almost $6 billion annually in addition to his other taxes. It turns out Bill Gates wouldn’t pay $100 billion under Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax, after all. In fact, he wouldn't’ even have to fork over the $20 billion he said he’d be glad to pay. At least not in the first year. Under Warren’s “ultra-millionaire tax,” households making at least $50 million would pay a 2% tax on every dollar above that amount and then a 3% tax for every dollar of net worth above $1 billion.

21 hoursLet me see....who takes the risk the Owners or the Workers? Why do you think because the owner has made money he owes everyone else something? The saying is true. The more you make the more they take! Sorry but I can't trust someone who lies about her heritage to save HERSELF money!

a dayLook at history. Anytime the wealthy are taxed past a certain point, they take their money and leave. Under Obama this is what we saw happening over and over again. New York at this moment has so many wealthy leaving that they are audited before they can leave the state. Even Cuomo said, you wanted me to tax them and now they are leaving.

a dayThe woman wants to destroy this country from within. She's a globalist. No matter what they say, it's all a front for making the country take a nosedive in an attempt to reign us in to global control. Her foreign policy will be terrible. Worse than Obama. She wants to support all of this gender changing crap and does her absolute best to wokescold and whiteshame people. Culturally and globally she would not be a good president for America.

a dayHas Elizabeth Warren reimbursed the illegal tuition she was granted by falsely stating she was Native American?? Has she made good to the spot she took away from a genuine Native American who missed out on college by lying about her roots...<silence>...of course she hasn't...let's start with you Warren and made things right and then and only then you can preach about what is right...let's stop the "do as I say" and get back to "do as I do"...sadly we all know it will never happen...now go home and have a beer!

a dayOr we could cut 80% of federal employees. And get rid of high schools and have all kids take online course so that way they can work full time jobs. Here's another idea... Stop making college students waste time on useless courses.
