But he's spot on point. Billionaires aren't going to leave the country if we tax them more. Where would they go? To Russia where they may accidentally fall out of a window if they disagree with Putin? To Europe where the taxes are higher?

Every politician who holds a a town hall needs to be ask "Will you raise taxes on billionaires?" If anyone says "No" demand them to explain why and then set them straight.

The criminal class always demonstrates solidarity, and the working class doesn't even seem to view itself as a class, or have any solidarity.
