Bernie's 77% estate tax v. Ohan's 90% wealth tax

Where do I sign up?

Maybe I can do the rich part for a few years first and then you can have it all.

Modern Day Progre$$ives? Far from it. 10 X worse.

How long until she proposes jizya on Christians? That’s something that most Democrats could support.

Ask Bernie, who must be raking in a couple mil annually, how he likes the idea of surrendering at least $1.8 to the government every year.

I think we’re a bit passed the point where she’d come around by listening to a sixty year old speech.

Tax congress creatures 90% of ALL income over their base salary from the time they enter congress until they die. Make it retroactive to 1933.

Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
Cause I’m the taxman
Yeah, I’m the taxman

Should five percent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all
Cause I’m the taxman
Yeah, I’m the taxman

And let’s try punishing them by putting very high sales taxes on luxury goods like planes, jewelry, and yachts that only the wealthy buy.

The Dumbocrats all thought that would be a great idea and tried it some years ago. The result was that yacht and private plane manufacturing in the U.S. dried up as smart buyers bought their luxury goods out of the U.S.. Lots of folks were unemployed and the tax collected bupkiss.

Watch the luxury home market in NYC and Calif as the new tax bill removed the tax deduction for state and local taxes on high priced homes after 10,000. Lots of rich progressives are already howling that their taxes went up.
