Personally, I'm disgusted by the horrible inequality in this country.

Sick of multi millionaires and billionaires hoarding their wealth like dragons sitting on top of their piles of gold while regular people being crushed by debt.

And sick of seeing rich people spend tens of millions on mansions while the rest of us can't afford to live within an hour of our jobs.

We are in a new gilded age and once again the rich have proved that if you let them keep the millions and billions they suck out of our economy, it won't trickle down to anyone except maybe yacht manufacturers.

I fully support the wealth tax. The ultra rich haven't done anything to make me sympathetic to any concerns they will have about this plan. And for any super rich person reading this.. hope you're ready for the rest of us to stick our poor dirty hands in your fat bank accounts. We're coming for you ....

Tell us how taking more money from people who are wealthy will make you more wealthy.
How will taxing the wealthy solve the problem of income inequality.

The problem is that for the added revenue from taxing the rich to make a dent, DCUM would have to agree that the rich includes anyone worth $3 million or earning $300k+. Watch the DCUM liberals squawk about that.

But I'd be for it.

The money could be used in a million ways to make people less poor or give middle class people more opportunities.

Have you ever heard of something called a government?

Not true at all. A significant amount of money could be raised even if we only tax wealth above $50 million

How much does YOUR family earn? It's easy to say "tax other people," but are YOU willing to kick in more?

Glad to hear it. I wish more rich families in DC liberal land were like you. (And yes, you're rich.)

Specifics, please. How, exactly, would taxing the rich make you more wealthy?

I'm not trying to become more wealthy.. I'm DC poor but on the higher end of middle class nationwide

I want the money to go to the people that are struggling more than I am

In terms of things that could benefit me, maybe some programs to help my kids in the future, like Pre-K, making college more affordable, etc

higher end of middle class is around $100k. Is that you? If so, I'd be all for helping your kids pay for college IF they are by students. If they are C or below students, let's help them prepare for life with a vocational training program.

And as far as pre-K, you're just looking for someone else to pay day care costs. You had 'em.....you take care of it.

Pre-K isn't about people who can afford daycare getting someone else to pay for it. It's about reducing inequality of opportunity so kids don't arrive to kindergarten already behind their peers
