WYDEN: “I can’t imagine the Supreme Court wants to give the wealthiest people on earth billions in tax cuts.”
Let’s parse “I can’t imagine the Supreme Court wants to give the wealthiest people on earth billions in tax cuts”. There is no annual billionaires wealth tax or taxes on unrealized gains yet.

Disparate impact of the BILLIONAIRES tax
