We pay for estimated value, they should. 1 trillion net worth (even if all made up) should pay the taxes on that full amount just like we do. If I earn 100k dollars, half that goes to taxes. How come Peelon can earn 100billion and gets all the benefits thereof and doesn’t pay half in taxes? In theory 50k from my taxes should be in the tax bank and 50 billion from his. Instead I payed 50k and he paid maybe 5k.
