More taxes? I would be thrilled if he paid his 28%, the same I do. Why should he pay 28%? Because we are all equal before the law. He should not get special treatment from the authorities because he's rich. It's a question of morality. Why should I have to pay tax when a guy worth 8 billion doesn't have to? I have to pay my taxes, and so should he.

But you believe that the asset tax should go away, that would mean that he doesn't pay tax at all. Why do you believe that because he has more money he shouldn't pay any taxes?
