Warren's #WealthTax plan calls for 2% over $500M, 1% more for over $1 billion. No one at that level of wealth would see any difference whatsoever in their lifestyle, but millions of people would see a fundamental difference in their lives based on what we could do with the money.

Correction: her plan is for 2% over $50M, not $500M.

Let me guess, they are going to bail out the billionaires and not even give us stimulus checks.

Exactly, it's pathetic. Warren is their friend, and such a symbolic, milquetoast proposition proves it. Warren is a capitalist and capitalism is destroying the planet.

Would Trump actually be taxed? I wonder.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Yes! And soon that won't be enough again and we'll want more!

Only does so much good when the wealthy know how to minimize taxes. A better idea? Get rid of most income based taxes, institute a federal sales tax that works like state sales taxes instead. The tax burden then goes to those who have disposable income.
Replying to @marwilliamson
I absolutely agree!

It should be the other way around, 2% at billions.....because that way if you make 990 million your being taxed more than someone at 1 billion. Is that designed to provide some sort of incentive?
