Billionaires get a lot of hate. But the average billionaire is someone who created a lot of wealth by making things people want. Join us in celebrating billionaires' contributions, Feb 7 in San Francisco. marchforbillionaires.org

Our response to @sanders.senate.gov’s remarks

Senator Sanders,

We encourage you to look beyond the headlines here. We did not march so that Bezos could buy another mansion or Zuckerberg another yacht, but because we believe that those billionaires and many others have made life better for everyday Americans.

Yes, the tech founders you named are fabulously wealthy. But they did not steal that money from anyone. Just like you made your millions selling books people wanted to read, most billionaires are rich because they made things people want. We’re all better off for Amazon’s extensive catalog with two-day delivery or Starlink’s rural internet access. The engine of capitalism brought us these and so many more innovations that make us the wealthiest country in the world.

You’ve named Sweden as a model for the US to follow. Well, Sweden had a wealth tax once, but it led to capital flight like we’re already seeing in California. Twenty years ago they rolled it back, and now they have both a generous welfare system and more billionaires per capita than the US. Let’s learn from their experience.

Like you, we want every American to have a fair chance to succeed, and that means closing tax loopholes and funding basic social services. But blaming the rich for everything wrong with the country doesn’t solve anything.

Happy Black History Month! Did you know that there are 25 black billionaires? The richest African American is David Steward, who founded IT systems integrator World Wide Technology.

What do we like about billionaires? "One of the main ways to become a billionaire is by offering products and services to the public at an appealing price." —@mattyglesias.bsky.social If you tried to live without products from large corporations you'd quickly see how much they add to our lives.

We've received a lot of comments from the Bluesky community tonight, so we want to take the time to clarify our positions.

Great to hear that Ro Khanna recognizes the flaws of the ballot question as-is and is trying to work out a compromise that won't hurt the startup economy.

Wealth-creating billionaires aren't the problem. Rent-seekers of all stripes are.

Billionaires get a bad rap. But most of them make our lives much better. The proposed CA Billionaire Tax Act is a tax on unrealized gains and is already driving founders out of the state. Join us Feb 7 and #MarchForBillionaires! marchforbillionaires.org

We're not categorically against taxing billionaires more. The "buy, borrow, die" loophole is real, and fixable by treating equity-backed loans as realized gains. But a tax on all assets and equity isn't the way forward.

The top 0.1% of California residents pay more than one-sixth of income taxes, and the top 1% pays 40%. California already has the highest income tax brackets in the country—it's simply not true that the rich don't pay taxes.
