Let’s imagine that Jeff Bezos, who accumulates almost $9 million an hour, lived in a world with Bernie Sanders’ 8% “extreme wealth” tax (on fortunes over $10 billion). A single year would see $9 billion flow into government coffers from Bezos’s $115 billion treasure trove, more than enough to cover the cost of maintaining safe drinking water under Bernie Sanders’ plan ($6 billion).
