You mean the same Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) that Trump and Musk killed the enforcement of after a tweet? (Both billionaires, btw.)

Goalpost move, you said billionaires prevent those laws from passing. They passed. You lied. The end.

Are you arguing that a 1% excise tax limited to stock buybacks (even lower than the 2 and 3% I already argued won’t change the status quo) in any way counters [anything]?

Nope. A new tax that applies only to the wealthiest demographic successfully passing is just another refutation of your assertion that billionaires prevent legislation that affects them negatively from passing, and that's the only reason I mentioned it. More desperate goalpost moves.

For every legal loophole that is closed

So you admit they do get closed. I thought billionaires never let detrimental legislation pass?

It would be convenient for you, if I were to suggest that, or any other argument you try to put in my mouth.

Behold, your words, verbatim:

When those policies conflict with the interests of billionaires, the billionaires stop them from passing.

For anyone who's read this far, I hope you got something useful from it.

Hopefully you've seen enough evidence that billionaires and corporations consistently avoid paying the taxes they owe, and that counterclaims (like the assertion that the BOI ended their ability to hide their assets) often fall apart when you look into what's actually happening.

With the last response above, it has become clear that damnedfurry isn't interested in good faith argument, but in childishly scoring points by intentionally misinterpreting my words.

I'm done with damnedfurry, and I'll block them if their comments further devolve into childish sneers or personal attacks.
