Here, Warren, take it all! Go ahead, all of it. Why should we have the privilege of keeping anything we earn or invest?

All hail Marx and Lenin./s

If Warren somehow wins, everybody will cash-out their 401(k)s and IRAs and stop working. We’d essentially become a barter economy. Who is going to work only to have their earnings confiscated?

I wrote a program to test this myself. I don’t know if I just don’t get the policy but as far as I see Bill Gates wouldn’t be a million after 7 years with this craziness. After that there are no more billionaires and you’d have to lower the threshold. These people are crazy. It’s not like these guys are just sitting on cash waiting for it to be taxed...This idea is not going to work

Consider a billionaire with a $1,000 investment who earns a 6% return, or $60, received as a capital gain, dividend or interest. If all of Ms. Warren's taxes are implemented, he could owe 58.2% of that, or $35 in federal tax.

Trash article.

This guy didn't even read the plan. The Social Security tax only applies to wages and salary, not investment income.

I guess that means they must work for the government on weekends for free?

Steal our time of life via taxation and spending. Where do all of these megalomaniacs come from?

Wonderful that a pinhead attorney, who lied about her ancestral background, and was enormously overpaid at the overrated community college of Boston - Harvard, and who has been driven by insatiable ambition, wants to take away the fruits of other people’s ambitions and efforts. Why are the pathetic so ubiquitous in politics?

It took the 19th amendment to let moonbats like her vote. Our founding fathers knew better.

I am of the opinion that we need an alterative tax system. One that specifiies both the minimum and maximum tax rates. Say 5% minimum and 35% maximum.

I would prefer that there not be any federal taxes on the citizens. Rather that the previous year’s spend would be divided up among the states via “representative apportionment”. That is to divide the spend into a per senator and per representative assessment that the states have to pay to the federal government. States then collect taxes in the manner that best suits their tax base.
