    A commie one is what is breeds.

    Nothing says chattel slavery like a progressive tax on multimillionaires.

    You must live in a ritzier neighborhood than I do. The proposed tax starts at fifty million dollars.

    Dazzler feels he has an entitlement to the labor of others. Rat party members really haven't changed all that much from their antebellum brethren.

    A 2% tax on vast fortunes is just like chattel slavery. I already conceded that.

    A feeling of entitlement to the labor of others doesn't require a certain percentage Dazzler.

    How does the constitution allow disparate treatment because you make more money? Asking for a friend.

    Your $50,000,001 gets taxed at the same rate as my $50,000,001. Equal treatment.
    Out of principle, I think it's bullshit to tax money that has already been taxed. But that's another discussion.

    Either way, you know the ultra wealthy will just transfer their hard assets, right? Money can be sent to overseas accounts, and physical property can be transferred within family, or to trusts. They already have a plan.

    https://www.fa-mag.com/news/how-to-protect-client-assets-from-a-wealth-tax-53392.html#:~:text=Meanwhile, a charitable remainder trust,wealth tax, according to Aucamp.

    Then once the government realizes they are running short on the funds they want, they'll progressively move the needle down until they can get the revenue they are wanting. Rich stay rich for a reason. They are either smarter or hire smarter people than we? are.

    The appreciation on long held assets hasn't been taxed. Large fortunes primarily consist of appreciated assets. And tracking the flows in order to discover tax evasion wouldn't be insurmountable at all. Plus the prize would be large. (Why not add multimillion dollar penalties and interest to the 2% assessment, right?)

    All that said, this won't get enacted anytime soon. It could be useful, however, as a vehicle for looking at the tax code and how it favors the establishment of a permanent upper class and an oligarchy.

    They'll pass the Super Duper Big Meanie Gazillionaire Tax and run in the midterms on it.

    And nobody will ever pay it. And the Dems could care less. They just want the votes.

    "Progressive tax"? There is no such thing. All taxes create a negative reaction. The "little people" will pay the bill at the end of the day.

    Your comment is typical rat bullshit.

    Of course. We all remember the postwar hellscape of the mid 20th Century.

    You mean when we had a 90% income tax rate that few if any people paid?

    I'd be in favor of a 100% tax on phony conservatives who claimed Mike Brown was shot in the back while running away.
