Billionaires are not naïve and do not retain their wealth in cash. It’s absurd to think they can be taxed like lottery winners under the current IRS code. They are billionaires because they know how to manage money, not win it in the lottery.

The rich kept paying less taxes , and it is not work they did do get it. They keep getting more tax breaks on money they just sit there and make. Working people are always paying more they cut your taxes then decrease our deductions. At one time the rich paid 50% in taxes, I think it looks it has gone down quite a bit over the years. The thing is they don’t hurt financially with high taxes , because they can make that money back in probably a week.

EVERYONE pays “ TAXES “ on everything when they purchase items then people pay L TAXES “ at the end of the year and get a little return out of that then they want to “ TAX “ lottery winnings especially taking that one lump sum All that “ TAX “ money is just staying in rotation… life in all reality is a “ GAME “ kinda like monopoly 🤷🏽‍♂️The rich get richer and the poor gets poorer etc. in my eyes there’s “ LEVELS “ to the shit it all depends how the dice rolls baby! I have a lot more to say but too much to text not enough space etc. and the list goes on long story short money makes the world go around but everyone ( especially certain people ) want to have their hands in and on the shit!!! It’s all about control at the end of the day I sit back and read as much as I can piercing things together reading / watching who can “ TRUMP “ it’s all about - MONEY - POWER - RESPECT

My question is why are you looking at other billionaires and not the fact that your government took the biggest part of the man’s money. You believe they won the lottery? You don’t see the real problem?

The lottery keeps half of the 2.8 billion and the winner is left with half, and that is taxed 23 % by the federal government and if there is a state tax they take theirs and the rest is the winners

Punish those that innovate, you lefties are geniuses. Who is going to pay along those taxes? Stifle innovation, the desire to produce something that can change the world; people buy those innovations. Right now they are paying 49% of all the taxes. The billionaires aren’t the problem, the fact that you want to do little or nothing and get paid is the problem.

Because we do. We make them pay payroll taxes, Property taxes, some places make them pay money on unrealized gain, taxes on income they earned, taxes on money they leave to their children that they already paid taxes on. Most people who claim to be a billion don’t even have a billion dollars. They own things that hold that value. Imagine making Kanye West give half his money to taxes and then lose his Addis deal. You can’t know what you don’t know, but a lot of people speak out of turn about things they nothing about.

Because billionaires don't take home billions but keep it invested in equity assets. The moment they do attempt to get some money to take home, the capital gains tax applies and takes all their money as well.

Well, you’re talking out your ass we do tax all billionaires like that who become billionaires overnight like that, but because they acquire their wealth over time, they pay for it overtime and have that man taken the payments rather than the one time payment, he could’ve taken home more than he did

Do all the dummies just hide under a rock somewhere and then come out and show their ignorance on something like this happens? Look-that amount shown is too line if no tax and financial advice is followed by the winner. Why do you suppose to take the winners a number of months at times to come forward they’ve been spending their time planning how to save most of the winnings for themselves rather than sending them back to the government.. this world is just full of ignorant little weasel.

Because people need jobs and a lottery winner has to pay windfall tax, which is higher. People like Musk and Bezos employ a lot of people. Brilliant men who were able to capitalize on their ideas. They worked for their money.

because of tax credits and tax laws that the rich accountant know that the most common people do not that's why Trump Clinton Obama sorrows pay minimal in taxes and Trump called it out he said you're right I didn't pay all my taxes and the reason being is because you wrote the tax laws and you won't change them because the people who donate to you use the same tax laws as I do he called it out for what it is a spade.

Because the rich get all the breaks! We only tax the commoner that much when they have an unlikely winning so we can keep them from becoming wealthy too. We are NOTHING but wage slaves to the oligarchs that currently run this country. They don’t give a fuck about us.

Can I ask a simple question or question was just presented about a man who won over $2 billion and he walked away with $680 million admit that is a lot of money to be taken out of that um however it was said why don’t we tax all billionaires like that Let me explain all billionaires on corporations all corporations have people that work there for them which means that billionaire is supplying jobs also and a lot of those jobs. There are benefits, vacations, insurance stock, option plans, and retirement plans, and other things now that billionaire took a risk to build that business he not only employees the people that work for him, but he employees a team of lawyers to help protect his business that’s more money going out so maybe if you think about it after you look at that billionaire a little while maybe that $680 million might be about where he’s at
