Good for him. If we want more tax dollars, eliminate QSBS stacking that allows $750m in cap gains tax free, charge a tax on loans against assets like stocks, get rid of the carried interest loophole, end the step-up on assets distributed via inheritances, fix the corporate tax strategies that the NY Times documented https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/business/economy/offshore...
