Confiscation of wealth and private property is one of the planks of the communist Manifesto.

Only if you plan to invest in lead, brass, and copper.

Communism pure and simple. The base human emotions of greed and envy put into policy form.

Wicked, as was the Communist treatment of the kulaks in Russia:

“This Rat Bitch is totally out of her mind.....why invest...why work....why live???“

The dems - typically deranged in their zeal to kill prosperity - fail to understand the well-to-do will simply move themselves, their families, and their job-creating wealth out of the country.

“an annual tax of up to 6% on accumulated wealth...”

So do I have this right, if you have say two million saved they’d take 6% of that every year until it’s gone or until you’re not considered wealthy anymore?

If a billionaire were to claim a low income due to loses on corporate assets the wealth tax could be many multiples of any income tax.

Anyone who is as white as Wonder bread and would lie about being native American is mentally unfit to be president.

Pocahonkey needs to go away.

Someone want to jive the 16th A. vs. the 4th/5th & 13th?

At what point does (economic) slavery exist (knowing 100% == slavery)....or will we continue to sugar-coat w/ some Leftist bastardization of the English lang?

I wonder if Warren Buffet is fine with it! I mean, he said he should pay in taxes than his secretary.

I like his advice on investments, but not his advice on taxes. I guess tax shelters will be popping up again!!
