Elizabeth Warren proposes "Wealth Tax"

[Secure Da Bag]

Good idea, but terrible name.

Plentiful Asset Tax better?

 

[Secure Da Bag]

Fair, but thats probably one of the reasons why a Progressive has little chance to win the nomination.
Hope I'm wrong, though.

But seriously, 2%. What rich people is flipping out about paying 2%? They can certainly afford that. Plus, in terms of tax hikes, that's more than reasonable. Why would any rich person, that's that rich, be against it or vehemently against it? They'd make that money back in interest, dividends, leases, or rent.

In before rural poor Republicans making $25k and on government assistance complains about it?

i think this is a great idea.

Elizabeth Warren to propose new 'wealth tax' as 2020 race heats up: Economic advisor

It's a stupid idea. They'll just move the money to Hong Kong or Panama.

They need tto do something where its hard to hide money

Out of all the people running so far, she's the only one dishing out policy aimed at redistribution in a time of growing inequality.

Hope she ditches the giving workers control of their corporations nonsense... it'll doom her

@ the DNC nikkas in here pretending dems aren't bought and paid for too...
Like the Dems raised taxes and closed loopholes when they had complete control...
Both sides serve the wealthy.

Not opposed to this. It’s a welcoming sight to see politicians actually attacking the real rich people instead of coming after the wallets of the middle class cough:ACA

How does 1% of the population hold 42% of the nation's wealth? How is that possible? Does that 1% work harder than the entire rest of the nation? Disgusting.

 

[dtownreppin214]

this country doesn't deserve elizabeth.

 

[Jhoon]

Yeah, I like it. She knows how to make policy that isn't complicated for all the complex financial tools rich people try and use to keep their money.

Warren is my soulmate.

But I think we aren’t on the same wavelengths right now. I’m think the wealth tax should be applied to those with $5 million.

And I’m more than willing to pay a little too.
