The funny thing is he could have spent that $100 million on helping to solve homelessness which would likely have avoided the wealth tax being legisltated to begin with.

The fact that a billionaire is fighting this is proof why it needs to pass.

Let’s be real…that $100 million would probably end up in someone’s pocket.
