Scrolling through the all feed and saw this post and genuinely cannot tell of this is satire or not.
Millionaires aren’t really the problem, billionaires are.
Pretty sure this is about the millionaires tax in Washington State, the first income tax passed in the state ever. The big argument against it is that it’ll set the precedence of an income tax being legal by the state constitution, and then they’ll start lowering the minimum income to tax everyone. Oh no, a progressive tax system!
I live in a TX. I find it sad there are so many people who are closer to broke than they ever will be to being a millionaire
Except the “They” who comes for people is the millionaires.
Oh please, please let’s do that. That would legitimately be fantastic. Not just millionaires though, because enough of them could’ve just worked hard to get there. Once you get to the like hundreds of millions or billions, then those people don’t deserve it.
Yeah it’s crazy how inflation is like that.
There are plenty of just regular day-to-day people that are technically millionaires. But like, it’s all invested and or it’s their retirement account and they’re 50 and it has to last them the rest of their life and they aren’t globetrotting on a mega yacht.
Inflation is the one reason I have a tiiiiiiiny corner of my mind saying “they might have a point”. Pegging laws to a dollar amount that makes sense today doesn’t mean that dollar amount will continue to make sense in the future.
Tie it to some multiple of the poverty line or median cost of living, then we’re getting somewhere.
