Well, I guess that’s one little mark against it. But on the plus side, it will totally destroy the US economy.

How dare she let the rich keep $50 Million!!! Only 6% of Billions? Let them all keep one million each and that’s it. Come on Elizabeth.

The analysis says a wealth tax could also crimp U.S. economic growth and hurt wages. By the Penn Wharton experts' reckoning, the wealth tax would cause the economy to contract between 0.9% and 2.1% by 2050. Average wages could also slide, even affecting households not rich enough to qualify for the tax.

No worries - Fauxcahantas will also be repealing the law of supply and demand.

It’s not a tax. It’s confiscation. And it’s every year. So if you have a certain amount, they take a certain percent every year. And the same thing next year. It’s the European “tax” on fortunes. Assets. Wealth. Principal.

It’s seizure of a part of accumulated wealth. It’s not a tax consisting of a percentage of earned income.

The public hears the word tax, and thinks it’s a tax.

That amount is one year’s worth of what it takes for Medicare for all. It will cost and additional $4 to 5 Trillion a year on top of the regular budget.

It will contract more than that and much faster.

And that estimation doesn’t account for what both Warren and the study acknowledge is a significant increase in enforcement resources.

Lol. Economic projections by Wiccans are as accurate as the bs spewed by economists. It a charlatan profession.

Any nation’s economy is far too complex to be more than partially understood. Thus all attempts by govt to micromanage an economy are absolutely doomed to fail. One can make some broad predictions like raising taxes will do this or that. But to predict that some specific intervention will generate X dollars is pure moonshine. You may as well consult the Delphic Oracle as a PhD in economics.
