TFG bashes Democrats' new billionaire-tax plan and suggests he might flee the US, but he'll 'stick

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former President Donald Trump assailed the billionaire-tax proposal from Democrats on Wednesday, suggesting he might flee the US to escape taxation. But he said he'd be sticking around.

"I just wonder, will I be allowed to run for president again if I move to another country?" he said in a statement. "No, I guess I'll just stick it out, but most others won't."

Trump was referring to the billionaire-tax proposal that's on all but doomed in the Senate only hours after it was introduced by Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon. It would levy a 23.8% capital-gains tax rate on assets like stocks and bonds to compel roughly 700 billionaires to pay annual taxes on their gains, regardless of whether they sell their assets.

Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia imperiled the measure after criticizing it as both punitive to successful people and unworkable.

2. Assuming Trump isn't in prison, that alone makes the bill worth passing although we might

have to pay compensation to whichever nation becomes cursed with his presence.

10. He can't leave the country

He'd risk arrest for crimes against humanity.

11. Let's see ...

Billionaires who are paying little or no taxes will leave the country if they are made to pay taxes? So the fuck what? You weren't contributing anyway, so who needs you? Buh-bye.

And lest anyone start talking about "job creators," just watch Shark Tank one time to see the ferocity with which the sharks insist that the start-ups must do all manufacturing overseas if they want any investment money.
