Real Coffee with Scott Adams

It's the first tax of its kind and it would probably cause all sorts of disruption because many of these billionaires have all their money tied up in their companies.

And so they would either have to sell a bunch of stock and tank their own stock price, or they'd have to maybe even in many cases sell their companies just to be able to pay this tax.

That's the main problem.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3099 - The Scott Adams School 02/20/26

Um, on top of just, you know, essentially being a wealth tax where it's like, if you have too much money, we're just going to take it.

And, um, you know, the latest on that that I saw was it's Steven Spielberg is leaving California.

So even the Hollywood elite are just fleeing these taxes.

I don't remember.

I mean, it does seem like a lot of the people are flowing into either Texas, like Austin, or somewhere in Florida, depending on your political community, probably.

I definitely think the economy is going to be the big issue in the midterms.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3099 - The Scott Adams School 02/20/26

And I think it's going to be interesting to see what it looks like when we get closer to it.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3099 - The Scott Adams School 02/20/26

Because everything from the stock market to jobs to wages to affordability, it's going to be on everybody's mind.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3099 - The Scott Adams School 02/20/26

I think that's going to be the dominant issue.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3099 - The Scott Adams School 02/20/26

And right now, it seems like...

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3099 - The Scott Adams School 02/20/26

It is getting better, you know mortgage rates are down wages are up Inflation is down.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3099 - The Scott Adams School 02/20/26

It's all looking good.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3099 - The Scott Adams School 02/20/26

But I think Unfortunately, it's it's kind of looking good from a statistic standpoint, but people are still going to the grocery store and saying oh my god this is so expensive and so even though it's not deserved all this inflation that happened under Biden is is now getting blamed on Trump and so I think the challenge will be how do we actually

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3099 - The Scott Adams School 02/20/26

show people that the economy is better and that the Trump policies are working.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3099 - The Scott Adams School 02/20/26

So I think messaging wise, they're hitting the right notes.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3099 - The Scott Adams School 02/20/26

They're going after the right things, focusing on the economy, saying we're making things better.

Episode 3099 - The Scott Adams School 02/20/26

We're bringing prices down.
