Am I Seeing This Wrong? Are Billionaires ABOVE the Laws of Economics?

Tweet

You've heard about this Build Back Better Bill (part-of-which is a signed 'legality')--about 'all this money that the government is budgeting for Building Back Better (I think the picture shows 'what that means')--but I'm puzzled. They say 'there's a provision to tax the billionaires,' and think that '"that solves it." House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy did a faux (because they can't actually do them anymore) filibuster, in which he said "The hard-working taxpayer was going to have to foot the bill for it," to which THE LAST WORD's host Lawrence O'Donnell retorted 'You mean The Billionaires, whose incomes YOU are protecting!' "Oh really, O'Donnell?" I responded (the way sports-fans at home YELL at refs who make the wrong call. "Where do you think the billionaires get their money from? Do you think we non-billionaires totally avoid paying taxes by naming the billionaire who owns the company that sells us our food & health-products & housing etc.?" (I know/imagine that O'Donnell's a non-billionaire too, but ... he talked about this bill like it doesn't affect him.) That is how 'the hardworking taxpayer' will foot the bill! ... or did anyone ever disprove the theories of J.M. Keynes? https://archive.org/details/collectedwriting0000keyn/page/n3/mode/2up?view=theater
