According to the US Chinese Network, Democrats in the US Congress unveiled a specific plan to impose a "super-rich tax" on Wednesday. Obviously, not all the super-rich agree with this.
According to the Democrats' proposal, Musk, the world's richest man with nearly $300 billion in assets, would have to pay $50 billion in taxes. But he didn't want to.

On Thursday morning, he tweeted: "My plan is to use this money to send humans to Mars and keep a little light of consciousness." "In addition, earlier this week, Musk also said that the fundamental problem at present is that the government is spending too much money, and the imposition of taxes on the rich will eventually lead to taxation of more people." They will eventually spend someone else's money and come to you for it. ”
Retail giant John Catsimatidis said it was a bit "crazy". "Stop spending money stupidly. They go through these stupid budgets, and then they want everyone to pay for it. ”
For billionaires, Catsimatidis said: "These people are job creators. (If we're not happy with the rich tax,) we can leave at any time. ”
Investor and billionaire Leon Cooperman also choked on democrats' new proposals. He had long opposed the richthore tax that Senator Warren had always advocated. Cooperman told the media outlet Daily Beast that he doubted whether it was legal to impose a tax on the wealthy, but it was undoubtedly stupid.
Not all the rich are against the rich tax. A spokesman for financial giant George Soros said soros supported the idea. In addition, Although Warren Buffett has not yet expressed his position, he has long supported tax increases for the super-rich, including himself.
