What do you think AOC means by 'tax the rich'? Is there really a serious difference between Buffet paying the same rate as his secretary - likely somewhere between 15-25% and what you think AOC means whether that's at 35% or 95%, versus the trivial rate he currently actually pays (likely less than 10%?) Any increase on billionaire's tax payments to be equivalent to what "normal" people pay would be a substantial increase of something like 50-500%.
Yes, this does seem to be an aside from listening to the podcast and getting to the meat of a discussion on how to build, but it's hard not to get sidetracked
