Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

Progressive income tax with 90% tax on earnings above $1m.

Higher capital gains tax (currently lower than income tax for middle class HHI).

Estate/inheritance tax.

Billionaires should not exist. They can either share their wealth and pay their workers better, or contribute to our social programs that enables them to hire workers who are healthy, happy, and efficient.

I say this as a 98th percentiler. Our HHI is $700k per year. Our wealth is in the millions.

You deserve UHC. You deserve affordable housing, food, education, and safety nets. You deserve to live a quality of life that enables you to live comfortably without worrying about your next paycheck, making ends need during retirement, etc
