Did you also happen to hear that "lawmakers" are demanding the wealthy pay more property taxes, based on SQFT of their homes?
No, I hadn't heard that one, but it wouldn't surprise me. The Bolsheviks did the same thing after they took ove Mother Russia.
Correction: the Bolsheviks didn't levy a tax; they just decided how much square footage a person or family of a certain number of members needed, and took possession of the excess by moving another family into it.
