Shorter answer. They earned their property. The government just confiscates it "for the greater good". AKA Theft.

So they earn an obscene amount of property (money) and decide the best way to spend it is to fund candidates who want to destroy public education, ensure healthcare stays expensive, gut research and protect child molesters rather than fund hospitals, universities, museums, medical research and ensure the next generation has the resources to thrive. It’s a judgement call in their part, and they prove they are callous, evil people who do not want to make the world a better place. Hard to feel sorry for them.

You can add whatever adjective you want. You have no idea how they are spending the money they earn and are making generalizations. The same could be said of billionaire democrat donors of which there are many.

You in fact are making everything more expensive by just dumping money on every problem, and the "problem solvers" are only to happy to raise prices and take that free government tax payer funded sugar.

That's how government spends $7.5 billion on Electric Vehicle chargers and has nothing to show for it. I'm tired of your redsitributionist schemes in the name of the "common good".

Your life runs on jealousy. Do better.

Who said anything about EV chargers. You have $5bn. Do you use a billion to build a hospital, or do you use it to kill environmental regulations that help protect the air we breathe and water we all have to drink and bathe in (and put more people in the already overcrowded hospital). It's a judgment call. Or do you fund a new STEM program for kids in your state? Or do you buy a $20 million new yacht (your third yacht). We all make choices. Personally, if I had a couple billion, the first thing on my to-do list would not throw it all at already corrupt politicians and join in the shxtshow. Look at Trump. He'd rather spend tax dollars ripping up the Rose Garden and turn it into a brothel disco than redirect it to medical research. The way you spend says everything about who you are.

Regulator personalities are highly collectivist and authoritarian narcissists and very dangerous. Completely oblivious to the unmatched genocidic and death cult of communism.

“Earned” ha! How come you’re not a billionaire, all you have to do is earn it.

The U.K. Closed a Tax Loophole for the Global Rich. Now They’re Fleeing.

LONDON—The U.K. is trying to tax the superrich. It’s off to a bumpy start.

“I’m on my way out,” said Bassim Haidar, a Nigerian-born Lebanese businessman who moved here in 2010. “There comes a time when you don’t feel welcome anymore, and it’s time to just start packing and leaving.

Haidar is one of the estimated 74,000 who used a centuries-old tax loophole, abolished in April, that catered to the global rich. The nondomiciled—or non-dom status, as it is known—allowed foreigners living in the U.K. to pay tax only on what they earned domestically. Profits made abroad were ignored unless brought into the U.K.

Beset by high public debt and crumbling infrastructure, the U.K. hoped eliminating non-doms would bring in about $45 billion by 2030. But instead of paying up, wealthy expats are rushing for the exits, sparking questions about whether the effort will raise any money at all.

The British experiment has laid bare the difficult politics of taxing the rich. Taxing high earners has become a rallying cry on the left as a solution to income inequality and fraying social-safety nets. Low-tax advocates say taxes on the wealthy are counterproductive, driving away job creators and big spenders."

"Haidar earns most of his money from businesses he started overseas. He estimates the tax overhaul will increase his U.K. tax bill by five to seven times. A father of five, he also worries about the U.K.’s 40% inheritance tax, which now would apply on his global assets.

Haidar is selling his U.K. properties and plans to leave this summer. He’ll split his time between Dubai and Greece."

"Beset by high public debt and crumbling infrastructure, the U.K. hoped eliminating non-doms would bring in about $45 billion by 2030. But instead of paying up, wealthy expats are rushing for the exits, sparking questions about whether the effort will raise any money at all."

So they are getting rid of the billionaire leeches? Great, let them move.they. Clearly aren’t contributing to society in any meaningful way, let them move to Somalia.

They won’t, though, they’ll just have their tantrums and STFU in the end.

They were paying taxes before. Now the government won't get any revenue at all if they move out of the country.

Ok, bye then.

They can lose access to market and real estate that made them billionaires. Their geographic location is irrelevant, anyway.

Honestly, the best the country ever was, financially speaking, was when the rush and the corporations paid their fair share. The sooner we get rid of those self important leeches, the better.

They earned it a lot more than the over consuming under producing (except on the fecal matter dept) DC crowd.

Do you have an issue with traffic signals and stop signs, too? They are a form of regulation, after all.

The nerve of the DOT insisting we don't rule the road, huh.

When flight attendants point out the oxygen masks, are you just dying to run up and down the aisles, disable everyone else's and insist they pay you in crypto to fix them?

Unleashed authoritarianism in a capitalist society... communism... they are all made up of the same people with the same motives and end goals. Kim Jong Un isn't a portly dude by accident.

Granted, I didn’t read every post in the entire thread, but did someone at some point in suggest that it was anti-capitalist to tax corporations and the hyper wealthy at a slightly higher rate to benefit society as a whole, the very society that allowed them to become hyper wealthy in the first place?

Well, let's take the USA for example. The top 10% of the tax paying base are paying 72% of the federal income taxes. The bottom 50% are paying 3% of the total income taxes.

We already have a highly progressive income tax in the USA.

The galling part is it's never enough for you leftist imbeciles. It's the same song from you everyday: anyone else should pay, just not me.

You simply want more, more, more. It's time for YOU to pay your fair share and stop demanding everyone else pay your fare.

I could make $10 million a year or $10,000 a year. I would still feel the same way.
