After all, if he bombs out at least it'll be concrete proof that video game skills don't translate to real life so we can FINALLY put that damn scare tactic to rest.
On the OTHER hand, if he succeeds, that'll be interesting as well, even if not likely.
Actually a good chunk of Billionaires DO rally around the idea of being taxed a LOT more.
Warren Buffet flat out discredited anyone who says "super high taxes on the rich will make them want to leave".
"I never would have gotten rich in any other country like the USA and just because I'm being taxed doesn't mean I'll leave. If I can make money, I'll make it, regardless of how high the taxes are."
Well, TBH, I'd rather have Teddy Roosevelt, but that would be unfair as no other President comes close to how badass he is. Even Washington and Jefferson (both of whom were shot at an insane amount of times in their lives) don't match up.
Why the HELL do we have so many damn archaic laws from the fucking 17th Century still in effect today when it comes to information, culture and sharing?!

Re: Lazy Ass People Anyway!
8 Trillion seems like a lot... It is... Until you start realizing that the U.S. has assets in the range of hundreds of Trillions of dollars right now.
Don't believe me?
Read this report...

In fact, the U.S. Debt to GDP ratio is only 70%.
To compare, Japan is sitting at a debt to GDP ratio of over 200%.
Germany's at 81%, for another comparison.

BTW, the best growth seen in the U.S. was in the 1950s, when the top tax rates was hovering around 90%.
