Ellison was discussing his Inclusive Prosperity Act measure at the July 25th Progressive Democrats of America roundtable in Washington.
People like, George Soros, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Paul Krugman, Joe Stiglitz, Jeffrey Sax, Dean Baker, Robert Poland, Larry Summers have said they all support a transaction tax, Ellison said.

Communist muslim MF’er deserves hanging.

yet
I wonder if the new and improved Islamic bathroom wipes have to say about taxes and shakedown?
In DC parlance, every dollar you don't send to this j@ckass is called a “tax expenditure.”
Funny how Muslim Ellison backs a European-style transaction tax.
Nothing short of theft, under color of office. This, in itself, is reason enough to be armed, heavily.
Get ready for a takeover of private retirement accounts.
They never stop do they?
In other words, they to wrest the money away from the good folks who do "have it" ... i.e. have EARNED it with hard work, scrimping, saving, doing without, etc. You know .... rich folks, like you and me ... we can certainly afford to have more of OUR money confiscated to give to those who don't have it ... you know (again), like those on food stamps, etc.
And they wonder why small businesses like ours are not hiring. Rather, they’ve gone ‘Galt’ or are on ‘slow roll’ (us). The ‘Progressives’ actually believe that if they simply raise taxes, those who understand creating value will simply pay more.
“It should be known that at the beginning of a dynasty, taxation yields a large revenue from small assessments. At the end of the dynasty, taxation yields a small revenue from large assessments.”

There’s progressive logic for you.....There is plenty but I don’t have it so I want it....give it to me NOW!!!!
Ellison’s prophetic quote sums up Obama’s jihad against America perfectly.
No Shiite you say?
You do not have a right to run or enforce anything.
Your boy king has described the Constitution correctly .
The United States Constitution is a charter of negative rights, in that it describes what the government May not do to you.
Is a charter of enumerated powers. 17 in fact.
Are of and by the people.
Now piss off marxist
Anything outside that and the powers of self governance are
Progressive prosperity: Use OPM.

Tax the use of money or just the operation of transferring it from savings to checking and then to purchase something.
The next steps really are logical, tax property as a federal tax and then tax the states for the amount of Federally owned property located within a states borders and then start confiscating the private and state owned property outright to resell it for more money.
The real question is this: At what point does ‘other peoples money’ truly run out? I don’t know, maybe when they run out of property to steal and sell and then start on the physical bodies of their citizens?
That sounds far out doesn’t it? But then China does something very similar, they kill their ‘dissidents and undesirables’ and harvest their organs for sale to the highest bidder.
One could go on and on and sound even more outrageous and kooky, but... There is a kernel of truth and the possibility to go along with it. The point of course to all of this is when the People, the true citizens of a nation no longer trust their elected officials and Government(s) then the end is not just in sight, it’s there staring you in the face and daring you to “do something about it”.
Not likely. There is no need for them to seize entire assets when they can just pass transaction taxes, sales taxes, eliminate 401K tax breaks and the like and get the money that way.
