What do you think about this argument?

It shouldn’t bother you that some people are obscenely wealthy (billionaires) because they earned it, that’s their money, and they should spend or save it however they want to. But government waste? That should really piss you off because that’s your money!

Disclaimer: I disagree with the sentiment, but at the moment I can’t seem to think of a valid rebuttal.

Why can’t we tax billionaires and still hate government waste of billions?

An extremely small one time federal wealth tax on the top 5% (graduated so the higher the wealth the higher the rate) would easily pay off the national debt and they would barely notice. However we must not allow the same sort of bozos or even worse to make decisions after that which would eventually result in the same thing. @jackjjackson
