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.

The point is to take a stand for what is right and to allow a constituency to develop around it. That's leadership.

This is pa. right? The wealthy should have to make money to keep money If they aren't profitable job creators, then they shouldn't be wealthy "Job creators"

Ooh! 😀 Nice! 😄 I was thinking more of a 1% annual wealth tax on fortunes exceeding £10m, where up to half of it can be given to charity or invested in low or no profit social enterprises instead of paid to the Government. 🙂.

This is insane and we all know it. Warren will go out as a failure to the people when they needed help the most. Massachusetts saw right through her. We need to start selecting the next Administration. The old club has probably been working on that. #TaxTheRich

No Marianne. It’s not enough. You’ve said it’s not enough. Just say it. It’s not ENOUGH.
