[Warren wants] a 2% annual tax on the 75,000 families with $50 million or more in wealth

DANGER! DANGER! She is going after wealth now, not just income. Once you open the door to a tax wealth while you're still alive, you've all but sealed your and your children's fate to be a slave to the gov't forever.

While I agree with you about a wealth tax, what better way to get the elites to oppose taxes.

My mom was a CPA, and she always made the point that the wealthy are mostly low tax payers. Their income comes from investments, which are taxed differently, and you can manipulate sales to minimize tax liability.

High cash flow earners pay taxes, not the wealthy.

Also - she and my step dad (attorney) were vehemently opposed to wealth taxes because they are unconstitutional.

So, yet again, this is a BS pipe dream to pander for votes
