Because the truth is that raising revenue is a relatively unimportant reason for taxing billionaire wealth. Reducing that wealth is a valuable end in itself. No one should have that much sway over the economy and public life. — PolitiTweet.org

If we passed a billionaire tax and, in some cases, instead of getting additional revenue, we got billionaire self-deportations, it wouldn’t be a tragedy. It would be like ordering one donut and getting a whole cake. — PolitiTweet.org

@mbeckett It’s not gonna happen, Miles. And if it does, we’ll have to regroup and figure out another tax plan, but it’s not gonna happen. It turns out they don’t actually want to live in Estonia or whatever. — PolitiTweet.org

To any billionaires wondering about the new wealth tax: Taxes are just like the philanthropy you already do -- except you don't get your name on the building, you don't choose what it's spent on, it's not optional, and your nephew can't be on the board. — PolitiTweet.org
