    I see this also. My insurance in 36k a year for a family of 4. I would be better off paying cash than paying for insurance. Currently going to the doctor for the 4 doctor visits cost me 9k per visit plus $5 co pay. Cash would cost me $50-75 per visit.

    But your still didn’t explain where the money comes from.

    We also call billionaires billionaires because they have a “net worth” of a billion, but having a billion dollars. Example is elon, is he went to the open market and said he is selling all his stock, he would probably get 100 billion. So good net worth would go from 700 billion to 100 billion because he went from a stock evaluation of 350 p/e to 30-35p/e. So that 600 billion disappeared because it isn’t real.

    So we tax wealth that isn’t real, where did the money come from. It didn’t come from thin air, it comes from somewhere.

    Saying the billionaire don’t have a billion dollars, so where does the cash come from to pay the tax? This is a real question and it’s the reason no one has figured out how to tax them.

    Like i said, the “wealth” elon has is backed from stocks at 350 p/e. That money isn’t real. U effectively want to tax something that isn’t real.
