QOTD: NY Times editorial board

Just this:
“The Warren campaign calculates that under Ms. Warren’s plan, Mr. Gates would owe $6.379 billion in taxes next year. Notably, that is less than Mr. Gates earned from his investments last year. Even under Ms. Warren’s plan, there’s a good chance Mr. Gates would get richer.”
Is it ok that the billionaire simply adds less to his massive, ridiculous fortune under her plan? Is that such a hardship? Will billionaires be able to function without taking every last penny they can lay their greedy hands on?
I simply cannot have even the tiniest concern for these people. It’s ridiculous that we are even talking about this. If you are that rich you never have to even think about money again for many lifetimes and neither do your heirs. So STFU and help save the country and the planet.
