CNBC’s Jim Cramer is calling for a billionaire tax following the release of the bombshell ProPublica report exposing that many of the world’s richest people pay very little in taxes.
On a Friday episode of “Squawk on the Street,” host Andrew Ross Sorkin asked the CNBC analyst about a “provocative” tweet published prior to the interview in which Cramer asked, “Why can’t we just create a billionaire surtax? Enough already.”
Cramer doubled-down on the tweet.
“From ProPublica, it was easy enough to figure out who’s a billionaire,” he began.
