Bloomberg's tax proposal to net $5 trillion

He is not my first choice, and I do distrust billionaire candidates in general. But if he becomes our nominee, I would of course vote for him and I would hope very much to see rational taxation come back. You can only bring in revenue by taxing people who have money. taxing the poor is pointless. Taxing the middle class heavily is also a mistake, I believe.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
