Add #WealthTax to this and we’ll start stopping the economic hemorrhage of money from the public treasury into the hands of a tiny few.

No. Stop taking from the rich. They “earned” it. But all newly created money to be distributed fairly, evenly. Take care of income and wealth insufficiency. Then work on inequality.

No they did not all earn it - and much was earned at the expense of the middle class & poor. The problem is not that some people can get rich – that’s a good thing; the problem is that not enough people today can get rich - too few can get into the game - and that’s a bad thing.

Pipe dreaming again, Marianne. If you put the screws to the rich, they will leave. Work on lifting people up and less on tearing people down.

When corporations paid higher taxes they did not leave, and paying much lower taxes has not kept them from leaving.

Not sure about the wealth tax, but we ABSOLUTELY need to discuss stripping trusts of their ability to avoid inheritance taxes. Yet another example of two sets of rules that benefit a narrow part of our population

I admire your persistence. I wish it were that easy. Problem is the "tiny few" have always ruled in this land starting with the European occupation of Native peoples. It's going to take fundamental change & the tiny few will resist to the end. Not sure what that would look like.

A wealth tax will never pass in America. Capitalism has corrupted the politicians and has no opposition.

I think the places who tried this, experienced that it did not work. The rich took their money and left....
