Love it.

In fact, we should have expanded it to be a "millionaire tax" where everyone who has a home worth more than $1M needs to pay a one time $50k+ tax to the highly efficient state government. I'm sure they can easily figure out how to sell a small fraction of their home to cover it.

If there is one thing that history has proven, I think it's how valuable dry taxation is for everyone in the long term.

I mean, people already do pay property taxes on homes? So this isn’t a very good retort.

This is an idiotic take.

The difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is basically a billion dollars. At this scale, it’s the same comparison between a billion dollars and a homeless person.
