Billionaires to Trump and other 2020 candidates: Please tax us

Some of America's billionaires have a message for the next President of the United States: tax us.

Nineteen billionaires including George Soros, Abigail Disney, Chris Hughes and members of the Pritzker family released a bipartisan letter on Monday asking the 2020 presidential candidates to support a tax on the American families with the largest fortunes.

"The next dollar of new tax revenue should come from the most financially fortunate, not from middle-income and lower-income Americans," the letter, first reported by the New York Times, said.

A tax on America's wealthiest has been at the forefront of the 2020 election stage. Presidential hopefuls Senator Elizabeth Warren, Senator Bernie Sanders, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Representative Beto O'Rourke and more have come out in support of a tax on the wealthiest Americans.

Of course righties like to tell you George Soros is behind every liberal idea. All I know is I'm still waiting for my George Soros check.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
