And is her wealth tax proposal unconstitutional?

How many different ways can be found, to levy taxes on the American people?

I do not understand why that is not a complete non-starter.

A little over 100 years ago, some people thought an Income Tax was a good idea. Well, they had to pass a full Constitutional Amendment to get it. And the wording of that Amendment does not have any loophole for "wealth". So if Warren wants a Wealth Tax, I think she needs a Constitutional Amendment.

But she acts like she'll just wave her magic wand and take what she wants.

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.
