Remember the “luxury tax”? It was a tax on high end boats, airplanes and jewelry. Well, the “rich” quit buying these items and it hurt the people who work in those industries.

This is a wealth tax. IF they get a wealth tax it will have to migrate down to people with smaller net worth.

You forgot to add the word "domestically" to your post.

The boat manufacturers off-shore did just fine.

The rich don't follow anyone else's plans. They create their own plans. That is how they got rich and/or stay rich.

The “repercussions” are that the rich have to chat with their tax attorney to find a creative way not to pay the taxes.

Billionaires didn’t get to be billionaires by paying lots of taxes.

Watching the Yellen video confirms that a complete moron can become Treasury Secretary.
