March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 18/02/2026We’re not sure why our benighted opponents chanted both “fuck the poor” and “eat the rich”. Perhaps they hate everyone regardless of income? That would explain their support of this wealth tax, which would harm rich and poor Californians alike. 200

March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 08/02/2026About two dozen people joined the march. Plus some obvious trolls with colored signs who counterprotested. 21113
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 08/02/2026Those were counterprotestors, to be clear 660
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 08/02/2026Thank you to everyone who marched with us today! Remember, Billionaires Build Prosperity—let's keep them in California! 8783
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 08/02/2026A conversation with Annie helped inspire the march, but she was not involved in organizing. We do not endorse all of her views. 210

March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 06/02/2026Very different case. After the Massachusetts millionaires tax, its top tax bracket is still a third lower than California's. The proposed wealth tax in CA is fatally flawed. 320
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 05/02/2026There are now many tech startups that raise at valuations of billions or tens of billions of dollars before IPO. 100
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 05/02/2026People use Google search because they feel it's the best option or because they never changed the default. What market power does Google have there? Switching costs are zero. 200
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 05/02/2026You voluntarily choose to use Google knowing it has ads, meaning it has positive value to you. There's no externality imposed on non-Google users. 210
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 05/02/2026Several reasons: - complexity of valuing illiquid assets - forcing payers to take liquidity on potentially bad terms - laying the groundwork for wider asset seizure - retroactivity to the start of this year - taxing voting power instead of economic ownership 200
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 02/02/2026Happy 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.en.wikipedia.orgBlack billionaires - Wikipedia 1530
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 02/02/2026Bad institutions and governance, mainly: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Nat...

March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 01/02/2026Hi Katie! We sincerely believe what we're saying. We think most billionaires have had greatly positive societal impacts, directly and indirectly. We support wealth creation and oppose rent-seeking/extraction, anticompetitive practices, and regulatory capture. 110
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 01/02/2026What 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. 3851
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 01/02/2026From our website. We don't necessarily endorse everything these people have done, but we think their contributions to society have been clearly net positive. 730
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 01/02/2026Hi Dustin, We've removed your name from our site to focus on billionaires whose positive impact came mainly through what they built as opposed to philanthropy. We too worry about regulatory capture, money in politics, and corruption. We see them as abuses of economic power, not an indictment of it. 230

March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 01/02/2026to add to this: poverty in DRC is due to weak institutions, disease, wars, corruption, and colonial rule. Some billionaires like Dan Gertler have exploited this for personal gain, which we condemn. We support the Norwegian model of taxes on resource extraction to benefit the people. 31100
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 01/02/2026We're serious. No one is paying us for this. We know that our views are unpopular here, but we believe in engaging in good-faith discourse with those of differing opinions. 3241
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 01/02/2026True, Weissman and Karikó made key discoveries, but so did BioNTech founders and billionaires Uğur Şahin and Özlem Türeci. 500
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 01/02/2026Reasonable people can disagree on tax policy. We think that the proposed tax in CA is poorly designed, and makes our state unattractive to founders that power our economy. There are other options we support that would raise revenue by closing tax loopholes without risking killing the golden goose. 2630
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 01/02/2026Paul Graham put it nicely: "Let's attack poverty, and if necessary damage wealth in the process. That's much more likely to work than attacking wealth in the hope that you will thereby fix poverty."paulgraham.comEconomic Inequality 2150
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 01/02/2026There isn't some fixed pie of wealth that billionaires are monopolizing. People who found companies create new wealth, and capture only a slice of that. Imagine how much poorer we would be if iPhones, Google, Uber, Spotify, or mRNA vaccines did not exist. Even Bluesky was created by a billionaire! 5940
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 01/02/2026Poverty is a serious issue that we care deeply about. But billionaires aren't responsible for it. The DRC has no billionaires, yet 75% of its population lives in extreme poverty. We applaud billionaires like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet who have saved millions of lives with their charity. 153141
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 01/02/2026We freely acknowledge that not all billionaires are good people. We strongly oppose Trump, and while we appreciate Musk's contributions to EVs, space exploration, and rural internet access, we're disappointed with the right-wing turn he's taken. Child abusers deserve to be prosecuted to the fullest. 49172
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 01/02/2026We've received a lot of comments from the Bluesky community tonight, so we want to take the time to clarify our positions. 184203
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 01/02/2026There isn't some fixed pie of wealth that has to be divided between rich and poor. Billionaires mostly created new wealth—for instance, Taylor Swift made songs that many people were willing to pay for, and we're all better off for Brin and Page's Google. They didn't steal from you. 2320
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 01/02/2026We're doing this for free. Meanwhile the people canvassing for the tax are getting paid $5 per signature. 400
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 01/02/2026Au contraire! Most billionaires got rich from creating new things. Google Search is a great example—a valuable service that makes our lives much better. The pot of wealth is not fixed, but grows with every entrepreneur. Contrast this with landowners, who do not build wealth but merely capture it.paulgraham.comEconomic Inequality 2110
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 01/02/2026Great 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. 1240
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 31/01/2026Wealth-creating billionaires aren't the problem. Rent-seekers of all stripes are. 162261
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 30/01/2026Billionaires 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 10061
March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 30/01/2026We'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. 1420

March for Billionaires @marchforbillionaires.org · 30/01/2026The 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. 1220
