Right now, no billionaires pay taxes. I'm just hoping battle lines are drawn so that Trump will start taxing the financial billionaires, which are mostly left leaning, even if productive billionaires such as himself still don't pay taxes.

He has a clear business focus, unlike pure investors like Buffett who will jump from industry to industry with each deal. A clear business focus is also true of, say, the Kochs. I'm open to other terms - managerial billionaires, maybe? - but there is a distinction to be made between the pure investors and the overgrown family businesses.
