The debate over face coverings persists around the U.S. even as coronavirus cases continue to swell. A number of governors, including Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Alabama Gov.
Kay Ivey, have reversed their stances and now require masks in public, while Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp doubled down on Wednesday,The following data was compiled by Johns Hopkins University:U.S. cases: More than 3.49 million
No hate organization should get a dime of the money and rich multi millionaires and billionaires plus Trump's family
The millionaires/billionaires who have money don't owe anything more than the taxes they pay. To put a 'wealth tax' on those who have more ridiculous- IT'S NOT THEIR JOB OR RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE CARE OF EVERYONE ELSE! If you want something, get a job and earn the money for it.
So abigaildisney should start donating!
It was good to hear that the leaders of Disney don’t listen to her because she has zero economic knowledge and should stick to writing checks from her $120 million inheritance account to charity while making documentary films no one has heard of in normal America.
I’ll take her seriously when she gives half her stock to the U.S. Government.
Send me a check. Dm for more details
Virtue signaling, we all know the rich will just find another loop hole as soon as legislation is put forth
It can be driven, just gotta work and be valuable in some way other than your boring existence.
I’m ready to get that check, please tell her my DMs are open
The government is super efficient with routing monies and definitely won’t require high overhead rates to do so.
No one is holding her back from paying more now!
If we are going to start a wealth tax for people with undeserved paychecks. Lets tax the idiots that make millions playing with a ball and the puppets who make faces at a camera repeating lines others write for them. As well as the tonedeaf hipsters who go on stage everynight.
Where is the democrat utopia? We've had socialism and communism all over the world - all failed states, all terrible places to live. We've had democrat run states for hundreds of years.. so where is it? Do it somewhere and show us it's possible. I predict business just leaves.
Weird that these rich people are always willing to give my money away.. Democrats you know you're allowed to donate to charity right? You can even cut a check to the government.. they'll gladly take it.
I bet she pays a team of CPAs to minimize her tax bill every year 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
Abigail can liquidate Disney stock & write a check right now. I am waiting. andrewrsorkin is becoming a comic 🤮
How about if the wealthy actually pay 40% taxes they owe instead of dodging and corporations stop playing games to pay no tax.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
How about blm pay for it with all their contribution money OH BUT WAIT they sending it all to the demonrats so they can get reelected
the solution to this... and doesnt resort to communist taxation/theft? ENFORCE ANTITRUST LAWS!!!
Does she know she can write the IRS a Check for whatever amount her heart desires.
Back it up Abigail! I look forward to you donating half to the government.
Why don’t we let the wealthy be more philanthropic and give to who they choose? They choose more wisely and will use the money more responsibly than our government
Idiots
Send it all in to the IRS, Abby. Nothing is stopping you.
...As her father's calls for creativity & motivation echo throughout the land...
Conservative bias in the media Exhibit 25,927: 1:10: *introduces conservative talking point* well if you want to pay more taxes YOU do it 1:45: interviewer says “LET ME FLIP IT AROUND” and states conservative talking point of government can’t fix it—all hail private industry
So give it away.
If any corporation is responsible for centralizing wealth Disney has to be at the top of the list. If she has an issue with it maybe she should do something about it instead of waiting for Uncle Sam
There already is a wealth tax, Muffy - the top 1% of earners pay 40% of the tax.
And how much money does she have? How about she starts by giving up and redistributing HER wealth, then we’ll talk. Time for these rich virtue signalers to put their money where their mouth is. You don’t have to wait for a tax. Go be the do gooder you claim to be and give it away
She can transfer her wealth to the US Treasury today.
What a bunch of crap
She is worth $120 million. Nothing is stopping her from giving her money away freely. Until then, this is just a publicity stunt.
Abigail, this is america, you are free to pay the IRS as much as you want, heck you can give them your entire fortune if you want. See how liberty works ?
Venezuela
Very good idea! Start with all of the Owners and Employees of the Mainstream Media and the Democrat Politicians, and once they've been taxed 90% of their income and it's been shown to be a success. Then the rest of us will follow!
Abigail Disney.
Please explain how the wealth tax will lead to a more equitable distribution of wealth. The taxed wealth will not end up in the hands of the less wealthy but just other rich people who better connected to politicians.
Then I will gladly take 1,000 shares of Disney
I'm glad she is speaking out. The uber-wealthy can afford it, & that evenue *should be used* to fund govt actions we need--eg K12 public education, universal childcare, community services Charitable giving isn't enough: It needs to be more & directed to the *right* services.
I’m sure she could give away 90% of hervwrslth tomorrow and still have more than enough. Until she does that she should shut up
Lead by example, give away yours.
I just stopped in the read the angry responses from the 5-figures billionaires.
Doesn't look like she 'wished up on a star', more like 'wished up on several buffets'. Tell her I am open to receiving half of the Disney stock she owns. Tired of VirtueSignaling celebrities, and their unasked for opinions? New shirtdesign for you!
🤷🏻♀️I’m financially insolvent, so I say... tax 💰 the wealthy.😙
Seriously, who could have predicted that the left wingers would be sharing the same talking points as Disney and McDonald’s? LOL and the best part? They are too stupid to even think about it
All that money and you go on TV looking like that. Trump2020
Ah yes, 'Do as I say, not as I do'
She is free to give her money to whoever she wants. The government should play no part in it.
Tax the rich at a tax rate of 99% for all care.
She can do this without a law
Median income in the US is approximately $70,600. She (and every rich leftist that claims the rich don't pay their share) are welcome to give everything above that to the government or to others.
Well, nothing is stopping her from writing a check to the Govt. Put up or shut up.
Disney 😂😂😂😂
We are also starting to see stock buybacks again. The rich are getting richer in some cases due to funds from the Feds. It is back to trickle down like after the tax cut.
That’s like me saying I want to go to Disney world. The goverment should tax me and save it till I have enough to go.
I don't understand. If that's the case why doesn't she just give her money to the government? Is there a law that says you can't pay more to the government?
So tell her to fired her army of Accountants and just pay the full tax the government ask of her.
Not how it works, lady.
She can make a donation any time she wants....
Why don’t rich people who feel this way start giving away their money
FakeNewsMedia cheerleader Sorkin pushing Progressive narrative
I trust abigaildisney will be leading by example and unload her stock any day now. My guess is, she likes to be an elitist
Rich people can literally give money directly to people if they want. Not charity, not taxes, but straight into pockets. They never do. This is just more virtue signaling.
This young lady is clueless about the lives of the common people. She can't talk about any of the struggles because otherwise she is just assuming, guessing at best. Like some folks said, I will believe her if she gives most of her wealth to fight against this pandemic.
If Peter is lobbying for a 3rd party to take more of the Peters' money to give to Pauls, there's a reasonable chance that specific Peter has an inherent privilege built into the confiscatory mechanism.
She's free to give them all her money. I'll wait....
Nuts
She’s welcome to start and give away her money. Until then, she can pipe down.
You first sweetie.
LMGTS: The guys running a Superspreader Theme Park are 'smart' to reopen theme parks during a global pandemic, but the heir to the family business with her name on it (abigaildisney) is 'confused'? I'm also picking up a vibe of sexism here. ShutdownDisneyThemeParks
Pass this along to Abs, would ya please. Website is if she wishes to make her donation online.
Yo abigaildisney here you go. Bureau of Fiscal Service. Attn Dept G. P.O. Box 2188. Parkersburg, WV 26106-2188. Please send 90% of all your wealth. You can do it voluntarily we don’t need a new tax law for you to pay more if you want. But you won’t cause your full of shit.
She says this because she inherited her money and never had to work for it.
Tell her to donate her family estate to the federal government. The US Government accepts donations. No one is stopping her.
queen🥰
All ya gotta do is send it in
If a person builds a company and is able to give JOBS to others where there wouldn’t have been any before, WHY DO YOU PEOPLE INSIST ON TAKING BOTH HIS MONEY AND THE JOBS He is performing a valuable service . Go study ECONOMICS !!
I take some cash off your hands
So is she giving back hers
When is he moving to MSNBC so you can get back to your core mission?
She can always give more of her money to the federal government or to charitable organizations. No one is stopping her. She is virtue signaling here.
A lot of y’all broke mfers are talking like you’re about to be rich enough for a wealth tax to effect you some day and it’s hilarious
U can simply write a check to US treasury if u want to donate $$ to the government. No need for interviews and headline news.
Nobody's stopping her from giving her money to the government. For that matter, nobody's stopping her from putting it to work directly without filtering it through the government.
Write a large check to the IRS MsDisney
She’s not part of Disney operations, and makes no financial decisions. She sits at home and collects her money. She can donate or pay the federal govt as she deems fair, but she doesn’t. The rich already pay the bulk of taxes.
Why are most, not all liberal women kinda, you know, like, sorta- this type
But you interviewed her precisely because she is rich...meaning if you’re rich your opinion matters...but being rich is bad according to her....which one is it?
She is more than welcome to write a check to the US Treasury. She won't because she's a hypocrite.
She should set an example and donate her own millions to the federal govt first. Put your money where mouth is!
O eoloteedseeeee re rn elo’Qi seeeeeerwsmdf d
Abigail is free to handover all of her wealth to the government.
abigaildisney how much of your own money has been put into your efforts. Or do you believe in spending other peoples money and apparently collecting other peoples money. Try hard work and risk taking instead. TeamTrump
so give your money to the poor, pay your workers better, charge less for disney products, stop importing workers...
You first Abigail
If she feels like sending out checks, I'll gladly give her my address
Nice. Truly awesome. Now call for closing Disney parks until there is a COVID-19 vaccine.
Let abigaildisney lead by example by cashing in ALL her stocks, etc and writing a check to the government for AT LEAST 50% of her wealth and assets. But, like most hypocritical leftists, she won't. She wants other people to do the thing she won't do herself.
LMAO adorable
She should transfer her business to Venezuela where they have a system entirely based on her sense of justice.
Accumulated wealth is not the same as inherited. Imagine asking those who work hard to give up their dollar
Volunteer your money, most of it, whatever amount to help your community then.
Maybe more people need to invest their own money first. No one ever talks about the entrepreneurs who risk everything to start a company. Shouldn't they be rewarded for that? Or does everyone just get a grade of 'C'. No more hard work necessary. hardworkpaysoff TeamTrump
Did she write a check yet to hand over her daddy's money?
Abigail, what percentage of your wealth is being given to others? Numbers please...
Nothing stopping her from donating money to causes she deems worthy. If she truly believes in what she is saying. Sure.
I have no doubt that at this moment Abilgail is donating half her Disney stock to the Federal Govt. Or is she just all talk.
26 trillion dollars in debt but sure let’s give the government more money cause they clearly spend it well.
A wealth tax doesn't become constitutional because of covid. It's still unconstitutional.
Stop giving this lady airtime
Completely agree!
Then give money to the government then... stop whining
Trickle down economics does not work
What's stopping her from doing it now?
See Warren's 2% wealth tax proposal. 1950's (and before) and 60's had 90% federal income tax rate on extreme incomes. We need more health care, schools, and housing. We need fewer billionaires.
She would be correct . Corporate socialism is running wild !
Tell the fool to take out her checkbook and pay up then. What is she waiting for?
Hell yes.
Stop paying professional athletes ridiculous amounts of money stop paying actors a ridiculous amount of money...that should even it out a little bit. If you earn it it’s yours.
If you feel you aren’t taxed enough, feel free to pay more in taxes and give up your wealth. No one is stopping you. Oh, my bad it’s about taking money from others.
Thank you Abigail Disney ❤️
DenyThemEssence Does this mean Abigail Disney is not cake?
If they paid their own tax, this wouldn't even be a problem and we WOULD be a super power. Right now we're just some crazy guy with a untrained military, which I was in. Rich person dosn't pay their taxes, they get house arrest for 3 months
To Ms Abigail Disney. Taxing the rich wont help people. The rich should... and can send, us each a check. This will save lives, pay for health care, rents and mortgages, schooling,food. M. Bloomberg 500M on campaign 360M Americans To whom much is given much is required.
It’s the Pareto principal at work. Warren and Sanders plans to fund public programs would have worked. We need to increase the taxes on the top 1%, and increase the minimum wage. This is how we solve socioeconomic problems today.
Wouldn’t be interviewing her if her name was Disney. Enough with the guilt ridden limousine liberals. How about some real news?
She should give her money to the IRS
another argument for the redistribution of wealth. * * did you hear that right.? *** Fuh-kuh ***yhueee**** Got it.....let me say it again...
So when is she cutting the check
abigaildisney GovSisolak She runs her mouth, but nothing else. In Nevada, GovSisolak mocks victims of NVnotpayingPUA. He’s ignored this WheelchairUser FOR A YEAR.COVID19 Video: SISOLAK EMAIL:GoFundMe:
She is advocating Asset Reallocation to go along with Income Reallocation aka taxes. This has a very narrow target of population and threatens the ownership of property.
seeing non-wealthy people are more upset than the wealthy
Rich people aren't capable of sharing without being taxed 🙄
✅ ROTHSCHILDS ✅ROCKEFELLER ✅ Agenda 2030
I love how these rich-ish people always want other people to pay more. She can send in more money if she wants. The IRS will not refuse it. I on the other hand, would rather keep my money and spend it how I see fit. Keep it local to my neighborhood, City, County...
Why is andrewrsorkin yelling? Can’t he have a conversation with the great Abby Disney without yelling? Does everything have to be theatrics & drama? It’s juvenile.
Total garbage...
That's Marxism, because she has never had to perform 'real work' she doesn't understand what it would be like to do so and hand most of it over to people who don't.
What’s stropping her form donating 1/2 her money to the government?
Isn't this story like two years old now?
Give all of the money back. Yours not mine. This is called “pulling the ladder up behind you”.
Sign letter? Write checks are shut the hell up.
Here is the truth about a wealth tax it’s a scam, any wealthy person can write a check to IRS. This scam gives them cover meanwhile they use to loopholes to get out of paying. Who is affected lower income as they raise all taxes, small businesses die off leaving monopolies.
Break out the checkbook honey and send them all you want. Can’t get over these spoiled brats with a guilty conscious.
karenhunter Hedge funds, billionaires and corporations controlling governments, show bad projections ahead. Their shell game is at risk from a microscopic, single-strand RNA virus.
Perpetual_Now She’s not the only one. TaxTheRich
The federal government does not spend money efficiently or effectively. Surely there is a better way to share wealth than giving it to politicians to manage.
You first.
thank u capitalism very cool but yes, good disney post
All the sheep responding 'She can just write a check any time she wants, don't force others to pay' and 'why isn't she giving her money to charity' should research two things, the economy of scale and the Daphne Foundation.
She should also be calling for Disneyworld to be shut back down until Florida gets their shit together.
shannonrwatts We have lots of ultra-wealthy begging for higher taxes. When that happens you know the system is out of whack. Who asks to be taxed more? Your network does not help this cause much, but thanks for this interview. Andrew is the lone voice of reason.
Women tend to take the unicorn fart approach to economics, it’s embarrassing.
Right on.
My primary labor income is taxed 3x ⬆️ than secondary rental property income or dividends. It the system was fair, it wouldn’t be a concentration of wealth on top: 1% have 32.4%, next 9% have 37% of all US capital. Bravo Abigail Disney!
Hey When are we going to see what teachers have to say? Unbiased to political party teachers I mean.
She can buy computers and provide internet so teachers can teach classes online daily if she's ohh so concerned. Sick and tired of this disgusting hypocrisy our media channels broadcast to piss people off.
Did she tell that to RobertIger when he paid himself $60,000,000 dollars as Disney's CEO? Or this is just another smoke screen? If she was honest, she would tell that to her family who's raising annual passes yearly without any reason. Small World/etc. are still the same.
A woman of leisure who inherited her wealth from entrepreneurial relatives who created the fortune that supports her has little moral authority to lecture those who earned their own money through their own sweat. There's no generosity in offering other people's money.
In America, wealth is trickled, not driven. It’s also not trickled.
Rich Leftists always do this. Look, you can send money to the US Treasury voluntarily. If you want to pay more, you're free to do so. Leave me alone.
MarisaKabas Disney for VP.
why do you talk with this person.
JuliaAngelenPR Lawyers and Accountants will always find a loophole
Yikes. We’ll follow your lead. Write a legacy check and I’ll take you seriously
Hey morons it would only affect the rich. We have tax brackets for a reason.
'If youre such a philanthropist mail your check in' 'If the world is polluted im not going to fix it by picking up trash in front of my house' Umm yes you would, that would be called doing your part. Another person who wont put their money where their mouth is.
She can kiss my rear end. And never going to give Disney another dollar.
She should’ve worn Mickey Mouse ears during the interview.
If you are rich and want to donate your money to the freaking govt, no one is stopping you. Please be my guest but, keep your greedy ass Marxists paws off my money.
I love when the filthy rich lecture me on income inequality
Bring about the water cycle type economy. Wealthy and government make it rain. The ground water soaks it up, the 99%. It nourishes their lives and also helps it to evaporate, which taxes and spending goes back to business and govt. Thank you for you. God Bless, John German
Well, you can donate it?
The concentration of wealth in capitalist economies in 2020 is deplorable. Did we learn nothing from the robber barons?
All of these poor republicans who wouldn’t even see an increase in taxes getting absolutely irate. 😂 All of you fucks were quick to cash those relief checks and sign up for unemployment though...happy to take that SS and Medicare when you’re older. RepublicanClowns SendItBack
Higher Estate Tax and a smaller lifetime exclusion would have kept her mouth shut. In the mean time she can send in a check. Such an Elitist. Most of her wealth is inheritance but she wants to tax income on people actually creating wealth. Gtfo.
It would be better off if they just handed out random stacks of cash to people instead of calling for more money to go to the government, where it’ll be laundered and some of it will trickle to the people.
Do away with long term capital gains. Reduce estate tax to 3 million. But dont increase fed tax rate. We need jobs.
I don't get why Abigail is being vilified. She is right- the wealthy should more in taxes. How is that wrong? Don't always agree with her but this she was spot on.
If the ultra rich feel this way, why do they need the government to take it from them with new tax laws? Use your money to improve things in you community or donate it directly to worthy organizations. Don’t give it to the government... you might as well take the cash and burn it
What this means is okay we’ll share 2% and have 98% just don’t burn down our cities
She was asked why doesn’t she just mail in extra tax payment and she said no... hahahahaha. She did not think INDIVIDUALS do positive things themselves was good. More hypocrisy and stupidity in this interview from two liberals.
The more serious question is what to do with wealth tax when it will be collected. Just spend as it now for social welfare, medicare, education and loans will not wotk now. Need innovative solution that create new field of economy.
Communism
This always makes me laugh. Anyone can OVERPAY their taxes at any time. No need for a law change....but it sounds good.
Do you think you’ll go ahead and write a check out yourself to get the ball rolling? Abigail:
Why doesn’t she write a check giving all of her undeserved weath to Treasury?
Covid-50 found her.
Russian trolls really don't want the wealthy to pay more taxes. Lol. I wonder why... Abigail Disney
Why do people care so much about uber rich people? So concerned that the wealthy might not get to loophole themselves out of paying their share of taxes. The 1% don’t give you a second thought.
NO
How about not. If you feel there’s not enough tax then why aren’t you signing a giant check yourself and pay as much taxes as your spoiled heart desires
🤣😂🤣😂🤣 trash
She knows she can write out a check to the gov anytime she wants to right?
She can voluntarily donate her money to the Govt or to charity. Nobody is stopping her.
So handover money I’ve worked hard to get. Money I’m saving for my family. No thanks
Then cut a check for the extra... We don’t hate you mfs for having money, just for being stupid. Quit encouraging the expansion of the government without our permission 😂😂😂 - a guy that just lost his job during a pendemic and doesn’t want anyone else’s money
I’m so sick of Abigail Disney. Who cares what she thinks. She’s a nobody who happens to have a famous last name.
Anyone can do it. They have to work, not expect to just give out the money. Socialist in disguise
She is insufferable:
Trump2020 LatinosForTrump Jobs
The buying of power has reached dangerous points. Do not forget seafarers brought the idea of democracy, and seafarers were merchants who needed a well faring populous back home to buy their fare....
The proponents of a wealth tax (radical left mostly) have demonstrated that they are liars who deserve no trust. A wealth tax would be the beginning of the end of personal wealth, mobility, and freedom. Never give a political 'progressive' anything they want. Ever! KAG
Can’t the fed just print another 1T and give it to the poor? That should do It
She's welcome to send her ”contribution” any time she sees fit.
