- hartator 6y agoIt hits home for them. Not an abstract “rich” category anymore.
- ryandrake 6y agoWait, you mean that many HN readers have net worth of $30 million or over, and therefore they are personally worried about it? I'd guess 99.5% of commenters here will never be subject to this tax in their entire lives. And even if they barely make it above the threshold, say they have $31,000,000 net worth: That results in a tax liability of a whopping $4,000. Whoop-dee-doo. The anti-tax rants here are just the usual run-of-the-mill white-knighting for wealthy people.
