She only rich because her daddy was in a position of power and money to get her in the spotlight. She shouldn’t be a billionaire and we should be taxing them out of existence. Every billionaire is a policy failure.
its easy if you tax.
income > 1ml should be 95% tax rate or higher. period.
tax every stock trade. remove religious exemption.
there are ways, but the people in charge are reaping the most benefits from the broken system
That is really close to the tax rate we used to reduce inequality coming out of the Great Depression. In today’s dollars the threshold would lie in a few million, not one. And I believe it was 94% IIRC, but over 90. Of course nobody paid that in practice thanks to deductions, but it worked.
Correct. Add another one to the buffet.
Agreed! Modern dragons on mountains of impossibly spendable gold!
Wouldn’t it be cool if Tay flips the script and really become a “good” rich person! I would love to see that shift and that influence spread. Alas, likey just dreaming but shit, would be cool.
Well damn.
Being the same age as her, I feel kinda bummed out. If only I’d have been born with the good looks and capability to sing I could be among the worlds top 10 CO² producers.
Oh well.
criticism aside, it’s still impressive
It also helps to have a rich dad who is a stock broker.
That’s the real key. Look at Rebecca Black. She’s no incredible beauty, and she can’t sing, but having rich parents still got her famous.
It still blows my mind that 1/6 people on Lemmy took the time to downvote “billionaires bad”! Wtf are these people? Fucking rooting for the mega out of touch oligarchs? Lick the boot you fucks!
I mean, there’s always a few temporarily embarrassed millionaires

We could just tax them at 100% after your first 100 million. Problem solved.

Even though I really dislike Billionaires, but this is truly impressive.
Almost as impressive as her private jet addiction (though good to see that she cut the flying down from worst in the western world to just regular rich sociopath this year).
Because this is a self made one done with only her voice and hot body. None of these other billys that got inherited money or got rich off the suffering of others.
