Nothing is ever enough for people is it? Ya’ll could have had Cuomo again and gotten 0% taxes on the rich. Hell, Cuomo would’ve given tax breaks to his wealthy buddies like he did the first time. 2% isn’t the end goal, it’s the start. Ya’ll need to change your perspective, nothing in politics is going to be instant or perfect. I’ll take 2%, it’s a start.
It is easy for them to have 0 income, and we should fix that. The means by which they can access ‘value’ of their wealth to pay for stuff without actually incurring a taxable event need to get closed. Primarily this seems to be about borrowing against wealth, which should be a taxable event, with an option to eventually get credit for loan repayment to assuage the ‘but but double taxation!’ crowd.
Indeed we need to do what the right wingers have been doing to us since the 70s. Slowly turn up the taxes and lock up more and more white collar criminals/pedophiles. Hopefully this starts happening after Trump and Republicans face backlash from all the shit they’ve done over this year.

If it were 2% wealth tax, I’d agree with you. Like this it’s worth nothing. It’s incredibly easy for rich people to have an income of essentially 0.

I’m happy with this, but we still need to be doing more.
Gotta boil the frog properly, exactly
