      If only there were some public fund billionaires could pay into along with everyone else that helps fund our infrastructure, hospitals, and public systems all at once. It could even be a modest % of what they earn every year. We could have an agency collect it and everythinghttps://twitter.com/teddyschleifer/status/1260663481725943808 …

      Scoop — Bill Gates is exploring ways to convince other billionaires to donate more for coronavirus. Ideas that Gates has considered include launching a new COVID fund for billionaires who signed the Giving Pledge, per sources. https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/5/13/21254870/bill-gates-coronavirus-giving-pledge-billionaires-gates-foundation …

      If it helps, they could think of it as a subscription service to living in an advanced society. Just imagine billionaires paying enough so teachers in the US don’t have to work multiple jobs and sell their own blood plasma to survive. Call me radical, but it might be worth it

          That makes no sense. Billionaires paying their fair share would greatly benefit the country. Banning the ability to grow is pointless. Just tax them at 30% just like the rest of us.

          The rich save more than they spend, and savings = investment. If you favor taking the money of the rich and give it to the poor, so that the poor can "survive" (i.e. consume), then just say it in those terms... but don't deceive others. There will be less R&D, not more.

          I give it 24 hours before someone on Fox News says that getting to keep your own blood plasma counts as communism.
