If they keep opposing it, they should amend it to a recurring tax, and if they still keep opposing it, they should make it 10% and just keep upping the ante until the billionaires learn to shut the fuck up and sit down. Non-tech giants out-number the tech giants by FAR more than enough to pass the legislation.
