Wyden's Plan - Let's see how much support he gets from fellow democrats

[timer]

Wyden is a democrat from Oregon who chairs the Senate Finance Committee. He introduced a measure yesterday that would tax only those who have assets of over $1 billion or income of over $100 million for three years in a row. A tax that will - initially - impact only the super rich.

The democratic party is funded by the super rich. It is now the party of the super rich - and these are the very folks that Wyden's tax plan would impact. Significantly.

The Republicans should support this measure with all their might....It would further divide the democrats and would help bring to light the true allegiance of the major democrat voices in Washington.

They could confiscate the wealth of all billionaires, entirely, and it wouldn’t be enough. Errybody is going to pay for Biden’s stupidity….because that’s what is required to systematically destroy this place.

If you confiscated the wealth of every billionaire in the country it would finance the country for like 7 months I read once, I’m sure much less today. The country’s bills are paid for by the working class middle crust.

Americas cash cow is the working stiffs, last year during the Covid mess the goobers still pulled in over 4 Trillion from the surfs. Brandon and Co can go after the job creators to "pay their fair share", but they will cut the flow into the coffers and tell you it worked.

Yeah they said this would only effect about 700 individuals.

Would like to see Gates, Bezos, Zuckerberg, etc. take a big hit...payback for their financing of Biden's election steal.

I heard this afternoon that Nancy had responded to the proposal with an emphatic "Hell no!" early this morning. She - and her demo-cronies who use all their power to benefit the super-rich - didn't even let the proposal see the light of day.

Goes to show who she is working for....

There's not a number big enough to tax us out of the mess they've created.

Here's why they'll NEVER, EVER, do anything but act like they're going to do something to their biggest donors.
