Billionaire and former Goldman Sachs partner Michael Novogratz urged his rich friends to “lighten up” about Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and her plans to impose a wealth tax if she’s elected president. “You’re not victims; you’re the richest people in the world,” Novogratz said Friday in an interview with Bloomberg. Lighten up!”Novogratz, who is now invested in cryptocurrency, said it makes sense to tax the wealthy to help those who are struggling in the nation. “It’s a little carried away.”Novogratz said he’d prefer a more “centrist” Democratic candidate but isn’t yet convinced anyone else can win.
