Kirby told the New York Times wealth inequality is a “danger to our society.” He made more than $32 million last year. He said he would gladly pay those taxes. California already has a so-called billionaire tax on the November 3 ballot. A Hoover Institution study finds Proposition 40 could cost the state as much as $38.9 BILLION as targets of the tax flee. You cannot punish success and then act shocked when the money leaves. Wealthy people move. Small businesses get crushed. The tax base shrinks. If Kirby wants to write a bigger check, the U.S. Treasury takes donations. Leave everyone else’s paycheck alone.
🚨 WOW: United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby just called for a NATIONAL wealth tax and inheritance taxes close to 100%.

- United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby recently told the New York Times that wealth inequality poses a danger to society and called for a national wealth tax along with inheritance taxes approaching 100 percent, saying he would gladly pay them despite earning over $32 million last year.
- Kirby has supported progressive corporate policies in the past, including DEI initiatives, pronoun usage in company communications, and targets for increasing women and people of color among pilots and leadership at United Airlines.
- The GuntherEagleman post points out that high taxes on wealth often lead people and businesses to relocate, as seen in studies on California’s proposed taxes, reducing the tax base and potentially harming small businesses and economic growth.
