CNBC ^ | October 2, 2019 | Brian Schwartz

Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Wednesday unveiled a plan that takes aim yet again at the multibillion-dollar lobbying industry. This time, she’s looking to hit them where it could hurt the most: their wallets.

Warren’s latest proposal is calling for an “excessive lobbying tax,” which would require lobbying shops to pay a tax if they spend over $500,000 per year on influence campaigns.

Nothing stopping her from releasing the hounds on it today or at any time over the years she’s been in Congress. Nothing but hands on ears, “la la la” when these congresscritters saying they’re going to fix some problem when they’ve sat on their duffs for years not doing a thing.

Things are shaping up for Trump to target a boffo campaign on people in the middle who don’t necessarily support him.

- My opponents want to TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX everything you have/everything that moves.

- My opponents want to give people in this country illegally 100% total healthcare coverage at your expense.

- My opponents want to spend all of your tax money playing Impeachment Theater coming after me and are putting NO efforts into fixing or solving (insert their favorite pet issue here).

The margin of his 2020 win is widening.

To paraphrase the old military dictum into Lizzy speak;

If it moves, harangue it,
If it doesn’t move, tax it!

They’re going to tax everything except non-profit foundations ran by Democrat politicians, everything else is fair game!

For ‘green’ companies, (or those who donate a proper amount to the DNC) the wealth, income, VAT, and carbon offset tax will be suspended for four years, and renewable after every election provided you are a proper contributing comrade.
