Let’s see the congressional Democrats demonstrate real leadership. Let every demo senator and congressperson who is worth more than $1 million give up one half to the federal treasury, everyone who is worth more than $10 million give up three quarters to the treasury, and everyone who is worth more than $50 million give up 90%. As this is being calculated make sure all spousal assets are included, all overseas assets, and all currently tax-sheltered assets. Eliminate all loopholes to them as they calculate their wealth except those approved by the first hundred people listed in the Topeka, Kansas telephone book. After they have done that, we will pass legislation to tax the rich at a higher degree. And then remind them that they, under Obama’s scheme will still be counted as among the rich.
Let’s see some real patriotic, caring leadership. Nancy, Harry, you first, show us your sincerity.
If “we the people” ever take charge I’m all for confiscating 90% of the wealth from the estate of every person who served in congress more than 10 years. Because we know that’s probably about how much was accumulated since they took office. We can pro-rate from there.
I say from their estate because the actual office holders should be on a pike.
I’d bet these crooks have most of their wealth in Swiss accounts and they probably have private shelters where they’ve stashed all of their precious metals. Man, have we been taken for a ride.
