提议对2020年3月18日至2021年1月1日之间的亿万富翁所获得的财富增值征收60％的一次性税。这笔资金将用于支付所有美国人一年的自费医疗费用。据新闻稿称，截至8月5日，该法案将对467名亿万富翁自3月18日以来积累的7130亿美元财富征税。但是，如果该法案获得通过，它将使亿万富翁对年底积累的财富征税。
根据该法案，在大流行期间看到自己的财富猛增的高科技和其他商业巨头将承担巨额罚款。以亚马逊和沃尔玛为例，随着大流行期间美国人在家中下订单时越来越依赖他们的服务，他们的股票都在增长。
这为其顶级股东，亚马逊首席执行官杰夫·贝索斯（Jeff Bezos）和沃尔玛（Walmart）的创建家族沃尔顿（Waltons）分别增加了数十亿美元的财富。
根据该法案随附的新闻稿，以下是由于3月18日至8月5日之间的财富增长，一些人将根据该法案支付的费用：
亚马逊首席执行官杰夫·贝佐斯（Jeff Bezos）将一次性缴纳428亿美元的财产税。
特斯拉和SpaceX首席执行官埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）将一次性支付275亿美元的财富税。
Facebook首席执行官马克·扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）将一次性缴纳228亿美元的财富税。
沃尔顿家族将一次性支付129亿美元的财产税。
The “Make Billionaires Pay Act” would impose a one-time 60% tax on wealth gains made by billionaires between March 18, 2020, and Jan. 1, 2021. The funds would be used to pay for out-of-pocket health-care expenses for all Americans for a year. As of Aug. 5, the bill would tax $731 billion in wealth accumulated by 467 billionaires since March 18, according to a press release. If passed, the bill would tax billionaires on wealth accumulated through the end of the year, however.
Under the bill, tech and other business titans who have seen their wealth shoot up during the pandemic would take huge charges. Amazon and Walmart, for example, have both seen their stocks grow as Americans increasingly relied on their services during stay-at-home orders during the pandemic.
That added billions of dollars in wealth for their top shareholders, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Walmart founding family the Waltons, respectively.
Here’s how much some would pay under the bill due to wealth gains between March 18 and Aug. 5, according to a release accompanying the bill:
