This reminds me of back when I first began to make more money annually than the Social Security tax cap. I was first surprised when my net income was higher than it had been the prior pay period. And then over time I thought to myself, why do we stop paying Social Security tax just because we make more money? It makes no sense. And I wouldn’t even miss it if it was taken out, because I was already making such a wonderful net income. We were a modest family of five in those days, and even with (now) ex-spouse’s penchant for spending on herself and the kids, we felt like we were livin’ the dream. So, hell yeah, tax the $100 millionaires. They will probably find more ways to make more money, no doubt on the backs of the middle-class, but hey, them’s the breaks.
If I was banking 100 mil, I wouldn’t be such a skinflint. I know because I brought in a helluva lot less, though a decent paycheck, and I still donated and paid my taxes without being a whiny baby. 🙄
