Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Elizabeth Warren welcomes Michael Bloomberg to the race ... with a tax calculator for billionaires
Welcome to the race, @MikeBloomberg! If you're looking for policy plans that will make a huge difference for working people and which are very popular, start here:
Link to tweet
The tool set Bloombergs net worth at $52 billion
After just one more click, the tool responded.
WOW YOUVE GOT A LOT OF MONEY!
Your wealth puts you in the top 0.0002% of Americans.
Now you have the opportunity to invest some of it back into our society so everyone has a chance to succeed.
Youd pay $3.079 billion next year under Elizabeths wealth tax. This amount, which you likely wont even feel, will help us invest in education from birth through college and help finance health care for everyone.
Good news - youll still be extraordinarily rich! And if history is any guide, if you do nothing other than invest your wealth in the stock market, its likely that your wealth will continue to grow.
