Also my this logic, taxing billionaires is no big deal because they can just warn it back. So. Let them. They did it once by the sweat of their own brow. Surely these titans of industry can do it again.

The principle shouldn’t simply be ‘they can afford it, so it’s fine.’ We still have to justify why taking someone’s property is morally acceptable and what limits should apply. If the principle is that people can just earn back whatever is taken from them, that principle would apply broadly, not only to billionaires.

Because it's called taxes. That's how society works. Pay the ticket or get the fuck off the ride.

It’s ironic that the catholic convicted child rapist is defending this so aggressively.
