Do you have another source for this story?

Do you have more than an accretion?

Warren's wealth tax starts at 3% and iirc goes up to 6%. The top income tax rate is less than 40%. So the math doesn't bring us to 100%

Don't know what Warren proposes for the top rate. It would have to be over 80% for the articles math to work.

Does say it's a combination of tax plus levy on unrealized gains. It's that combination that takes it over 100.

You can always count on Wall St to analyze all the angles..

You have more than a headline.

Rupert Murdock news papers are just as trust worthy as faux news when it comes to politics.

requisite knowledge to juggle all the “who knew healthcare, taxes, trade, foreign policy, climate change, etc., was so complicated” aspects of our lot.

Admittedly, some, maybe many, of her ideas are worthy and should be goals. But, I think she’d — and the country will — be victims of a lot of unintended consequences.

Yes, I will support her in general election, but will need a prescription for Xanax to get me through election.

subjects. I was actually surprised that the trump tax cuts didn't go seriously awry with unintended consequences. These WS people are smart...they are already analyzing proformas if EWs tax plan becomes reality.

Still have no earthly idea why we have to broadcast this stuff with detail that could change a million times. Why?

Obviously. The future will be interesting and we may have a very short-term insurrection*

I suspect that when Democrats take back our government, dedicated to all Americans and supporting new Americans,,,,that is what makes us great. Fuck the Anti-American Maggot.

Trump is the anti-thesis of the American I grew up in. He is a con man of my generation - another indictment on how our system is failing us.
