    It’s unconstitutional, but sure. But she knows this and will go ahead and push a low that this possible with an amendment.

    You mean the Indian?

    How do you get 3 trillion dollars from 0.1% of the country?

    I'll take my answer off the air

    You confiscate their wealth.

    She is such an idiot. Could you imagine the difficulty of trying to estimate the value of hard assets EVERY year?

    Wealth tax is a horrible idea. If you want to kill small business in the US this is a great place to start. The estate tax is a wealth tax and only administered generally after the last surviving spouse dies. That’s once in two lifetimes. Anyone associated with large estates realizes that valuing a large estate which includes partnerships, LLCs and non-publicly traded corporations is a nightmare for both the estate and the IRS. The cash and publicly traded securities are easy to value. Real estate alone is hard to value. Try hundreds of parcels of real estate owned by a variety of partnerships, LLCs and corporations. Then try to value a minority interest in a successful small business family owned corporation.

    Then try an annual wealth tax where all this would need to be done annually instead of once in two lifetimes. It’s almost like leftards hate private sector US employment of US citizens. What we are seeing is the complete failure of the US public education system. That is if you define failure as complete lack of knowledge of math, science, history and economics. If you define failure as not creating an educated independent freedom loving citizenry – then we have a smashing success on our hands.

    It’s also unconstitutional. So there is that.

    I’m with Westy. Let’s just re-enact a meaningful estate tax and leave it at that.

    Property leins.

    Easy. Value is always acquisition cost adjusted upward by Government Valuation Officers.

    No different really than WADOL charging you Tabs based on MSRP

    I thought we didn’t deal in hypotheticals. This cannot happen without a constitutional amendment.

    The federal estate tax is Constitutional. It's a wealth tax. No way the Supremes vote down a wealth tax. Food stamps are unconstitutional if you actually read the Constitution. That hasn't slowed down the feds.

    You are incorrect. The estate tax is an excise tax on the transfer of wealth. Not on the wealth itself. Warren’s tax proposal on wealth unconstitutional. Simple fact.
