“Americans these days don’t much like billionaires. Our ultra-rich, Americans overwhelmingly believe, aren’t paying enough in taxes. Polling earlier this month found that nearly three-quarters of the nation’s likeliest voters — 74 percent — feel billionaires are paying ‘too little’ at tax time. Just how concerned about billion-dollar fortunes have Americans become? Nearly half of us overall, Harris polling found last summer, would like to see a limit on ‘wealth accumulation’. Among Gen Z’ers, that support for limits on billionaire fortunes runs all the way up to 65 percent. ‘Billionaires’, some 58 percent of Americans agreed in that same Harris poll, ‘are becoming more like dictators.’ The share of Americans equating billionaires with dictators — given Elon Musk’s current dominant role in the new Trump White House — is most likely running even higher today.” (02/17/25)
