00:00This week, apparently Elon Musk is going to become a trillionaire.
00:04This week, I have Morris Pearl of Patriotic Millionaires on my podcast.
00:09Elon Musk is officially the world's first trillionaire. Elon Musk has more money and
00:15more wealth than anyone in human history. Loopholes have allowed Jeff Bezos to pay an
00:21effective tax rate lower than a Boston public school teacher. Taxing the wealthy, making them
00:27pay their fair share. There is no reason. We have all the resources in this state and in this
00:31country that we need, but we have been allocating them wrong. This week, apparently Elon Musk is
00:36going to become a trillionaire. That's total bullshit. Nobody should be a trillionaire.
00:41Right now, we've got way too much wealth concentrated with the tiniest group of people.
00:46And what we need to do is tax the wealth. That's exactly why I've got a bill that does just
00:52that.
00:52It's time to tax the rich. And this week, I have Morris Pearl of Patriotic Millionaires on my podcast.
00:59So download it on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts and find out how we can make a
01:05difference and change this rigged system. Elon Musk is officially the world's first
01:10trillionaire. Think about that. We're living in a time when more and more people are just hanging
01:15on by their fingernails to survive in this economy. And Elon Musk has more money and more wealth than
01:22anyone in human history. I want to be clear. This is not just some fluke. It is a feature of
01:31a rigged
01:31economy. Donald Trump's big, beautiful bill cut healthcare for millions of Americans to give guys
01:38like Elon bigger tax breaks. The tax code rewards CEOs for firing workers and replacing them with AI.
01:47Loopholes have allowed Jeff Bezos to pay an effective tax rate lower than a Boston public school teacher.
01:54And we are left with a country where a handful of billionaires at the top pop champagne in their
02:00$300 million yachts while working people take on even more shifts to try to pay off their student
02:07loan debt. The top 1% of U.S. earners now have more wealth than the entire middle class. We
02:16need to
02:16overhaul our tax code. We need a wealth tax. And it's about time that corporations paid their fair share.
02:24Today's marker should be a wake-up call that enough is enough. Time to make change.
02:32The wealthy have gotten away without paying their fair share for far too long. Corporations are making
02:37historic sums of wealth. There is a person on track to become a trillionaire in our lifetime. And if that
02:43is not an indictment on our economy, I don't know what is. And in Wisconsin, we have done the bold
02:48thing
02:48before. And as governor, I am promising you that we are going to do bold things once again. And that
02:54includes taxing the wealthy, making them pay their fair share. There is no reason that in school
03:00districts all across Wisconsin, people are voting to raise their own taxes, their own property taxes
03:06through referendum when there are billionaires that are getting away without paying their fair share.
03:10We have all the resources in this state and in this country that we need, but we have been allocating
03:15them wrong. And that stops the day I become governor.
