Billionaire Says “Tax the Rich” Is Hate Speech That Horribly Offends Him

Real estate billionaire Steve Roth slammed the slogan “tax the rich” as offensive during Vornado’s earnings call.

His comments came after Zohran Mamdani proposed a pied-à-terre tax and drew attention to billionaire Ken Griffin.

The piece argues that billionaires often pay lower effective tax rates than wage earners.

It also says Roth has not disclosed enough information to verify his claims.
