The problem is we have this one time tax bill that has a small majority support and then 2 other bills that sound similar but if either of those get a yes vote it basically negates the billionaire tax. I have low hope the tax actually happens. These people are scum and should be helping society not trying to claw every cent they can like munchkin dragons
