    A sin tax? Really? I mean they should be taxed because every other self employed person is, not for stupid moralistic reason. Just do what the rest of us do and keep your scorn for their choices in your head and drink yourself to death.

      Pretty sure they are already taxed; he just wants it to be extractive levels so he can moralize like a good puritan.

      I think one of the highest earners is in Florida, and she’s responded to him. But even in her case, she’s only making millions per year.

      I don’t see this asshole suggesting we put a 100% “sin tax” on people that have over a billion in assets. Worshiping Mammon to that degree is not “sinful”, just women that are giving men lustful thoughts.
