Greens policy:, "tax the Billionares to afford dental in Medicare". Australians...

Glad it will ripple through our economy meaning we will all be able to afford housing and groceries easily.
Soon we will see and end to homelessness since they're making so much money and paying tax all those profits

Where is this money coming from?

You. Your neighbour. Me. The people who's actually making value. These people are leeches, and do not deserve to live.

It's a quirk in how companies are valued. All shares of a company are assumed to have the value of the last ones that sold. Even though 99%+ are not available for sale on a given day.
So the money doesn't actually exist.
