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 ....

You basically just tried to label all millionaires and billionaires as people who have no concern for the poor, “we’re coming for you”

Yes, this forum has really turned my stomach recently. There are some lowlifes in here who can't stand the thought that they couldn't hack it and have a million excuses as to why they couldn't make it.

So they want to legally steal from others through taxation. It's easy to see how they ended up In their situations. They don't understand simple math, economics and the overall repercussions.

To those 400 rich people begging to be taxed more, great for them! If that's how they want to spend/lose their money, I support them fully. But just because that is their personal decision, they don't speak for others, including the upper middle class. I hope they donate every last penny if they feel so strongly! But leave others out of it. To each their own.

The wealthiest in this country benefit from public coffers built from taxes in myriad ways. They SHOULD pay more. Right now they steal from those who have the least and take more than their fair share of public resources when you consider subsidies, tax breaks, infrastructure, and public assistance that zillionaire use to build and amass wealth via corporations. It turns my stomach that they don’t.

Just wow. Delusional much? I agree the extremely weathly, those making 20 million or more could pay a lot more and never miss it. But this nonsense is over the top.

What’s delusional? What’s over the top? Educate yourself about the average tax rate of a billionaire. Or even super-millionaire. And then, educate yourself on corporate subsidies, how states provide infrastructure and incentives to large corporations but the state doesn’t necessarily break even in terms of taxes. Educate yourself on how companies like Walmart (but there are many others) have a significant portion of their full time workforce dependent on welfare because wages are so low. You are delusional.

Yep

I'd like to see everyone limited to a maximum income of $150k a year, and maximum assets of $500k/person.

Anyone with more than that after _____ date when it goes into affect loses it. The government can then reallocate that money to people with less, and even everyone out. That's certainly a fairer system than what we have now.

Hahahaha!!!! Omg. Hahahahaha!!!! What a wacko! You're in the wrong country. We have something called freedom here. The government confiscating your property and dispersing it to others is not freedom. It is theft. There are plenty of communist utopias for you to move to, China, Russia...please leave. No really, you are a horrible person.

I think they are a republican mocking people who want more taxes.

I hope you are right. But it seems the radical left has hijacked the Democratic party. Listen to your announced candidates. Which almost guarantees a Trump relection. I am praying Shultz officially announces. He has my vote.

If they are radical then FDR, johnson and kennedy were insanely radical. No one who has announced they are running is radical. That person is trolling us.

Oh stop. Identity politics and class warfare all the way. All of them. Sickening. They would all lose to Trump. Also why we need someone logical, who can do the math, a centrist like Schultz. I think he'll pull enough Republicans sick and embarrassed of Trump, all of the Independent moderates like me, and all of the sensible regular Democrats who are disgusted with the identity politics and progressive dogma of the Dems. Schultz would win and that's why the Dems are pressuring him to not run.

Lol wow this is the biggest misread of Trump’s win that I have ever seen.

Trump won because he was willing to say a bunch of nasty things that elite Republicans had been refusing to say outright and therefore seemed authentic.

I can’t see anyone like Schultz winning on a platform of “I ran a coffee company and I want the rich to stay rich.”

No. You're coming at this from the liberal perspective who thinks Trump won because of nasty elite Republicans.

I'm a middle class Republican and would vote for Shultz over Trump in a heartbeat. But not the far-left wackos the Dems are coming up with.

It is an interwoven dynamic. They are using US educational, environmental, legal, and infrastructure resources to grow. Oops, sorry dad, I sound like a socialist, right?

Shut up unfunny troll.

You are not very bright. Flat taxes penalize the poor. During the time of Eisenhower, taxes on the rich were double what they are now. Back when people cared about each other as a society.

I honestly believe there is a strong connection between the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the inadequate tax rate we have today. Racism is a nation-wide thing, of course, but conservative southerners in particular couldn't abide their tax dollars going to black people. Reagan's tales of welfare queens and young bucks eating T-bones struck pay dirt.

Corporations are the biggest recipient of welfare. They pay slave wages, and the workers have to take government benefits just to live. As a result, the struggling middle class pays.

So next time you hear someone complaining about poor people on food stamps- remember the real welfare queens: the CEO's who make 470 times what their workers do and make all of us pay for their multi-million dollar salaries.
