Bill Gates and Bernie Sanders are an unlikely duo, but they share one common belief – the rich should be taxed more. Gates even says he’d be okay with losing much of his wealth. However, Bernie, as always, takes it one step further. On The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Gates discussed his new Netflix docuseries, “What’s Next? The Future with Bill Gates.” Colbert mentioned the conversation that Gates had with prominent billionaire critic Bernie Sanders throughout the show. “I told Bernie I’d make the tax system more progressive,” Gates said, joking that while Bernie would like to take away 99% of his wealth, he’d be fine with giving up half. “I would have paid, you know, twice as much in taxes,” Gates said, “But I would still be a billionaire.” Colbert responded with humor, pointing out that even after losing 99% of his fortune, Gates would still have $1.3 billion left – plenty to get by.
