Sen. Warren says she'd be 'happy' to meet with Bill Gates to discuss how much he would pay under her wealth tax.
"I’ve paid more than anyone in taxes," he continued."If I had to pay $20 billion, it’s fine. But when you say I should pay $100 billion, okay, then I’m starting to do a little math about what I have left over. I’m just kidding.""I’m not sure how open-minded she is — or that she’d even be willing to sit down with somebody who has large amounts of money,” Gates said.
Gates declined to say who he would vote for in a hypothetical matchup between Warren and President Donald Trump. "I’m not going to make political declarations," Gates said."But I do think no matter what policy somebody has in mind, a professional approach is even, as much as I disagree with some of the policy things that are out there, I do think a professional approach to the office is… whoever I decide will have the more professional approach in the current situation probably is the thing that I will weigh the most. And I hope that the more professional candidate is an electable candidate.
