Catastrophe: Florida's Department of Health is stopping coverage for antivirals to 10,000 low-income people with HIV infection, blaming impending federal cuts to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program. 12.5% of Americans with HIV live in Florida.

"The Florida Department of Health said the move is to prevent a shortfall of $120 million." Literally chump change for any of these billionaires. You know what? Forget it. We'll just tax the hell out of you.

1. Overturn Citizen's United. 2. Tax billionaires so much they stop being billionaires. 3. Pay for every social service and safety net the billionaires and their lackeys in government have always prevented us from paying for. 4. Weath and health beyond measure for everybody.

Thing is, we don’t even have to do all of point 2. Taxing them the same % on unearned income as I pay on earned income would do it. If you taxed stagnant wealth above a billion at twice the rate of earned income, they could stay billionaires.
