Why??? Greedy people!! financial aid during the pandemic was meant for middle-class Americans. But billionaires received money. "IRS records reveal that 18 billionaires and some 250 other ultrawealthy people received aid intended to help middle-class Americans."

Not included in last week’s draft was a provision that would have directly affected the ability of billionaires to manipulate their incomes. A number of the billionaires who received stimulus checks were able to report negative incomes to the IRS despite getting richer. A “billionaire income tax” proposed by Wyden, would tax increases in wealth. Under the current system, gains are taxed only when they are “realized,” such as when someone sells stock.
