Buffet/Gates/Bloomberg/Soros/Cuban have been saying for years the rich need to pay more taxes. Propose a tax increase that actually hits the super-rich and the screaming begins. Guess all along they meant the "other rich", anyone making 200k.

In the Twitter thread, Sweeney proposes a progressive capital gains tax maxing out at 75%. It would hit him personally, but still allow him to run his company. He’s not complaining about the magnitude of the tax. He’s complaining about the mechanism.

He's 'proposing' something he knows is politically impossible. I predict he will find a way to run the company and make billions of dollars.

No, it would never hit him in a meaningful way. He has no intention of ever realizing most of his capital gains.

I found quotes from Mark Cuban, but I’m not seeing any comments on this proposal from Buffett/Gates/Bloomberg/Soros. Can you share your sources?
