Nope⦠just being honest about how he made all of his money through government largess.
Would be great if he didnāt game the system and paid more taxes to the very system that has greatly benefited him.

Tax them on how they actually use their wealth.

The tax code can be changed to tax the ultra rich as to how they are able to borrow and use their wealth to live off of and acquire more assets without ever having to touch their capital.
