Donald Trump advocated a 14% wealth tax in his book “The America We Deserve”. I could see it one time with a big cutback in government.

Tiger Woods grew up in California and loves the state. He took his millions to Florida.

I think I’ll vote yes. Do you really need to stand up for these people?

Terrible idea. how do you determine wealth? Does some government flunky come into your home and tell you what your jewelry, furniture, cars, etc. is worth.

Why should wealth be punished for reasons other than jealousy?

Money is taxed when you make it, when you spend it (sales tax), when you earn interest and grow it, and when you leave it after death.

I don’t care what the next guy makes and nor should you.

I acknowledge all that, but I’ll be voting no. Otherwise I’m just playing into the hate and envy the other side foments
