Well,that’s the idea...isn’t it?
so...”theft” under color of government policy is now an “innovation” ????
Somebody ought to ask Bernie about the solvency of public servants’ pensions. IIRC, there was an article shared here recently and among it’s points raised was even if you were to confiscate most if not all of the wealth generated in the United States, it would still not cover the liabilities that many of these plans face.
So are they going after multi-billion dollar college endowments and multi-billion dollar foundations?
Didn’t think so.
Fair Tax or some sort of national retail sales tax. People who buy a lot of stuff end up paying more in taxes. You end up getting more tax revenue from “the rich” but you don’t specifically target them in a punitive way.
Commie Bernie is trying to resurrect the USSR in the United States.The gubmint knows best what to do with the money you earn. I am waiting for Bernie to introduce his bill to rename the senate the politburo.This hapless clown has never earned a dollar that did not come from the US taxpayers.
Tossing bloody, red meat to his envious, socialist constituents to re-start his campaign after his heart attack. Job one is get his base back.
We have a WINNER!
ClearCase_guy wins the WoolWorth’s Lunch pass.
Burn has exceeded his “use by” date.
Bernie should read Atlas Shrugged. Then take a look at what high wealth people do when they’re over-taxed.
My father in law is a rabid democrat. Hates rich people. He did not have the ability or gumption to risk everything to create a business from scratch. He DID however earn a decent living off a business created by some “evil, rich mam.”
To those on the left, that is a bug, not a feature. They *want* to punitively target the "rich", which is anyone making a dollar more than them!
Only a slight exaggeration.
Unless BS can implement his wealth tax on a retroactive basis, the accumulated wealth will disappear - into other countries that don’t impose BS level taxes on wealth.
Well duh! Worthless article. It’s a wealth tax, it taxes wealth, most likely it is paid from the wealth it is levied on. After paying the tax the wealth will have less wealth.
Free Republic might as well openly the door wide to vanity posts since most Freepers can write better stuff than this.
Yep. Sales tax is The Only Fair Tax.
The rest is extortion.
Funny. When 0bama got in and started doing things, my brother-in-law and I would quote passages from the book, showing exactly what was happening. (I re-read it after 0bama won)
Not for nuthin, the writer of the article doesn’t understand the concept of progressive taxation. They would not tax the entire income at 97%, Just the incremental dollars above that income level.
I think Sanders is a Leninist. But let’s not fail to educate based on a fourth grader’s understanding of tax tables.
So is the fact that Bezos supports the highly left-wing Washington Post editorial board. I don't get that, either.
Oh those BS policies will provide a lot of incentive for business startup and innovation....
