“I think it’s fascinating that for the first time in my life people are saying, ‘Okay, should you have billionaires?’ ‘Should you have a wealth tax?’ I think it’s a fine discussion,' says billionaire Bill Gates

Congrats Bill Gates

I've worked for ibanks and hedge funds as a PM. HFs typically charge '2 & 20' or 2% yearly on capital and 20% on high-water performance. Even RIAs charge half a %. An 'admin fee' of 2%. A WealthTax that has been entrenched in the accredited investor space since 1950. It's time

Screw bill gates. It's easy to pay a wealth tax when you have billions to tax. What about the small guy who try to use real estate or the market to fund their retirement. We're supposed to pay significantly more for delusional ideas by Communists like Cortez and Sanders?

It doesn’t sound fair that a person is earring more then they has to give a lot more ? There should be a open discussion and take in ideas before implementing

XHNews China is now contributing much to the world and the worlds poor. Are Americans and those that are China bashers going to claim they deserve part of that wealth also.

should people be punished for : excelling, creating tech, creating jobs, giving to charity, not sitting on it but investing it so others can grow their business, there is more ! how much of their hard work do you want for yourself.

BillGates when will you stand up for the people in this country? Healthcare, Senior Elder Care, Poor your silence is deafening.

What I think BillGates is that you have to solve the problems/illnesses that can spread to other countries, I believe that with a portion on your currency you can make the medicine to solve the illnesses & you can be President & do much more.

he says the gov't isn't innovative yet he hasn't solved anything... he could fix every pipe in flint with his $ he could buy every homeless person a home with his $ he could feed every hungry person with his $ and still have $

The millionaires should create an association to establish a basic income, first among the most needy and then among the entire population. But leave your money in the hands of the States, politicians who change and use it probably for other purposes? No, please! 😑

Foreverecholoud This is very interesting and I want to learn more about the topic.

A fine discussion. Is this the proper response to an absolute insane question?

I don't think it's about billionaires but about people. People who aren't rich or even middle class shouldn't have to struggle just to live, have food to eat, and get medical services.

Sure he thinks it's fascinating, because whatever the tax is, it's just a drop in the bucket for him. There should be a huge wealth tax for billionaires worth over 3 billion. ( not corporations,but individuals-businesses should be taxed like normal ,because of jobs)

Never trust a rich Democrat. They didn't get rich caring for the poor.

If all the billionaires turned over 100% of their money it wouldn’t begin to fund the democrat proposals

Doesn't mind discussion. Hopes it lasts a couple of decades.

Depends on the billionaire. Some are trying to do good for this world such as Elon Musk other are just greedy like Jeff Bezos.

I think people are damn greedy! I think it’s also absurd for someone to tell me I have to be taxed more ie share my wealth with people lower than myself! I made that money with my own sweat and someone wants to take it away? Whatever!

Shouldn't the conversation really be about monopolistic and oligopolistic companies that created this wealth, but are highly likely to outlive the beneficiaries and may grow even more dominant as they age?

Is he Native American, too?
