Time for a real estate tax, not a feel good giving pledge by the billionaires.

Property taxes already work quite well. Well except for CA where a lot of homeowners have arbitrarily locked in low property taxes.

Pardon, a large estate tax.

Yes, taking someone else's money is usually how taxes work.

It seems to be expected that people who have been earning an income for less time have fewer saved assets than people who have been working longer.

Hell yeah!

Wait, what...
