The Netherlands also has the number two quality of life in the world so maybe don’t worry about it so much?

it's weird when Americans day dream of giving tax breaks to billionaires because they might be rich one day; it's a another thing for people who ostensibly have the best social system in the world looking at America and say "we should do that".

There are plans for making mortgages more expensive by removing tax deductions and for taxing inheritance a whopping 75%. That is hardly giving tax breaks to billionaire, more so screwing over anyone who isn't dirt poor. Oh, and I'm already paying pretty much half my income in various taxes.

Anyone who has a significant amount of money can avoid these taxes, as always.

Americans also pay half or more their income in various taxes/premiums. Again, I’m not sure what greener grass you’re looking for.
