United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby advocates for wealth and inheritance taxes

United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby has expressed support for a national wealth tax and inheritance taxes that approach 100 percent. Speaking to the New York Times, Kirby stated that wealth inequality poses a danger to society and must be addressed. He argued that a national approach is necessary to prevent individuals from moving between states to avoid such taxes.

Kirby noted that he would be willing to pay these taxes himself. His proposal focuses on wealth redistribution rather than increasing corporate income taxes or capital gains taxes on shareholders.
