If we give the American people a tiny slice of every Amazon sale, every Google search, every robot truck mile, every Facebook ad, we can generate hundreds of billions of dollars and then put it into our hands, because we know best how to use it

There it is. Socialism/communism in a nutshell. They know how to use my money better than I do. They know how to use wealthy peoples' money better than they do. They know how to use corporations' money better than they do. There is no difference between these policies of Warren and Yang. The money just comes from (ostensibly) different pots.

Poor naive Yang, pointing out the fact that “wealth taxes” have failed miserably wherever they’ve been tried... It’s almost charming to see someone utter something so woefully out of place at a Democrat debate.
Apparently, poor fellow never got the memo that facts and logic have no place in Dem policy proposals.

I wonder if any of these brilliant economists have ever analyzed the potential revenue from the income tax and having a VAT?

What would those numbers look like?

Andrew Yang slammed Sen. Elizabeth Warren's (D-Mass.) proposed wealth tax because it has been tested and repealed in other countries.

Don't confuse us with facts and data, Andrew.

but I think as Democrats we are going to succeed when we dream big and fight hard,

I was always taught that my dreams should be about my own achievements- not forcefully taking the results of other people's achievements. Those are dreams- those are resentments.

"...A wealth tax makes a lot of sense in principle..."

Well. Another case which allows me to express my gratitude to Leftists for allowing me to save my valuable time. "Many mickles make a muckle", and all those saved seconds have added up for me, being able to discern Leftist stupidity from their own mouths immediately, and not having to depend just as accurately on interpreting their stances on things.

But they both agree to tax the chit out of everyone. 😆
