Democrat 2020 contender Elizabeth Warren promised teachers’ union members Friday she would tax the wealthy to provide free day care for every newborn in the country.
The senator from Massachusetts told members of the National Education Association (NEA) at a 2020 forum in Houston she would enact a two cent per dollar tax on every $50 million levied against 75,000 of the top earners in the United States.
Courthouse News Service reports:
The tax would raise more than $1 trillion, Warren said, enough to pay for child care for every baby in this country from newborns to 5 year olds, universal pre-kindergarten for every 3-and-4-year-old child, and tuition-free technical school, community college and four-year college for everyone who wants a higher education.
“Plus, we can cancel student loan debt for 95% of people,” Warren added.
The Washington Examiner noted that a Moody’s Analytics report found Warren’s plan would cost an additional $700 billion over the next decade:

Eventually the teachers unions will have jurisdiction over us from cradle to grave.
Two words. Nut. Case.
A trillion dollars here, a trillion dollars there and suddenly you have enough money to give away free crap to everybody!
Stumping for the illegal “motor voter” vote. Those are the only ones buying baby carriages these days. Well, them and the Muslims.
They are spending that tax on the rich a dozen times over. And they still don’t have enough money
Free daycare for newborns? Is that a reason to keep your fetus?
Uh, newborn or abortion. Scalp em if ya got em.
Dear Elizabeth, why would not the land of the free and the home of the brave have the expectation that Mom & Dad would look after the child rearing? The government already “does” too much.
A certain group is breeding like rabbits. No doubt this is meant as a gift to them.
Hold on .... Senator Warren supports taxpayer funded abortions and then for those lucky ones that do make it live birth she wants to fund child care.
My head spins.
...and those evil rich people would just sit there and freely give that money away. They wouldn't adjust their investments to skirt the tax. They wouldn't move assets offshore. Nope, they would just happily fork over the TRILLION DOLLARS.
I'd bet they wouldn't raise more than $100 million. Then we'd hear endless liberal tirades about the "selfish rich."
Muslims?
If all of theses asinine “ideas” are implemented by the left,America will collapse sooner than when medicare and Social Security collapse is predicted within twenty years.
That’s pretty easy to say, for a party of baby-killers. They can control federal costs by mandating abortions. They are perfectly capable of doing that.
Makes it easier for sex on the side.
The better to start the brainwashing as early as possible......
Keep your grubby hands off our kids you old bag!
What was the statistic? If all the money was taken from millionaires and billionaires it would run the country for only a couple of months? Then what?
