You obviously do not understand the difference between income and wealth, not to mention economics in general. The great misunderstanding is that wealthy people must have taken their wealth from poor people. This may have had some legitimacy in preindustrial agrarian societies where land was a limited commodity, but it is completely inapplicable to modern economies. When Bill Gates makes a billion dollars, he does it by creating employment for thousands of others. In addition, the money that wealthy people spend is more beneficial to the economy because it increases the velocity of money by creating higher demand for skilled labor and proving more capital for business investment. For example, the 1991 "luxury tax" on boats over a certain value (passed by the Dems and signed by Bush1) destroyed the yacht building industry in the US and drove it overseas. It was repealed in 1993 (GOP/Clinton) but those skilled jobs never returned to the US.A byproduct of them having an overwhelming amount of the income
You need to be totaling up all the taxes for middle class. State, local, federal, hidden taxes, sales taxes, interstate taxes, taxes as fees, on and on. The problem with the rich is that it will not balance the budget. Corporate taxes are passed on to the consumer. Rich individuals do purchase things and it employs a lot of people. When I see the endless parade of people pushing for the rich to pay, very few volunteer it. Like show us all plus the rich that are not Progs how it is done. None of those TV media/entertainers do. None of them. They need to form a huge group and promote it if they do. Progs have had many opportunities to enact massive increases and have done some at times.

62 percent of the wealth is held by 5 percent of the population
15 percent of the wealth is held by 80 percent of the population

Because We the People created a more perfect unionPlease explain how you or I am entitled to the wealth created by another. Some say it’s because the government funded all the improvements that allowed these select few to prosper, however, is it not a CBO proven fact these select few pay the largest share in taxes if so, then it’s nothing but BS and spin. I will admit envy and if I was so fortunate then I would like to keep the largest portion to enjoy life. Think about it, then ask yourself one question, is it just and fair for the majority to expropriate wealth from the minority because they are less fortunate and talented?
A "wealth tax" is not an "income tax."So, I mean REALLY , like don't even look up past experience I mean Really ??
The experiment with the wealth tax in Europe was a failure in many countries. France's wealth tax contributed to the exodus of an estimated 42,000 millionaires between 2000 and 2012, among other problems. Only last ?year, French president Emmanuel Macron killed it.
Yes he does, he is paid upHunter Biden doesn't pay taxes

Still waiting for Crooked Donnie to pay up
90% are you fucking kidding me? What is that a Dem PUNISHMENT tax or something?A "wealth tax" is not an "income tax."
I oppose wealth taxes.
I support taxing income, progressively.
Why?
Because if that $100k spent on a "maybe" photo of Billy the Kid had been taxed at 90% rather than 15% that money would have been invested rather than spent.

Taxes are your share of the costs of living in a first world country.
If you don’t like paying taxes, moved to a cheaper country.
There are plenty of Third World countries they can move to
They will find governments that do nothing to help the people
