Sounds like a good investment to save $13B+

TBH, it sounds more like robbery to me. That is dictated by the majority doesn’t make it right.

The idea of a "one time" tax is so stupid that any person, regardless of income, should oppose it. It just makes no sense whatsoever.

Good for him.

If we want more tax dollars, eliminate QSBS stacking that allows $750m in cap gains tax free, charge a tax on loans against assets like stocks, get rid of the carried interest loophole, end the step-up on assets distributed via inheritances, fix the corporate tax strategies that the NY Times documented https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/business/economy/offshore...

But even better, would be to fix the spending & fraud problems and implement Milei style reforms that stop government salaries for elected officials for deficit spending...
