Biden spoke about the possibility of raising additional funds by increasing taxes for billionaires in the United States.
He noted that if billionaires paid a 25% federal tax rate, it could generate US$400 billion over the next 10 years.
Quote: “Imagine what we could do with that. We could do so many things – consequential – including finally making sure that we take care of Ukraine from that butcher Putin,” Biden said.
Background:
- In February, Biden called Vladimir Putin a “crazy son of a bitch” during a fundraising event in San Francisco. The Kremlin called these words “shameful”.
- Additionally, Biden recently referred to Putin as a thug.

He is explaining absolutely nothing.

Crazy SOB”, “thug” and “butcher” are not “shameful” words, as the shithole claims.
They far too kind.
“Genocidal nazi’ and “evil terrorist” are more appropriate, when it comes to describing putler and his entire murder gang.
Taxing billionaires to pay for Ukraine is too long term and does not unblock the current aid. It also implies that putler will be going on for years when he needs to be stopped right now.
Although, here’s an idea : a special tax of 100% of their earnings for super-rich Russian operatives such as Ivan Muskovy, Trumpkov etc.
