New Poll Shows Nearly Two-Thirds of Americans Support a Wealth Tax

..

Among the 4,441 respondents to the poll, 64% strongly or somewhat agreed that “the very rich should contribute an extra share of their total wealth each year to support public programs”

Hmm...

Let's say that money is borrowed. You see it was only taxed as income. We keep paying for it it's called the national debt. The filthy don't pay on that wealth again they hord it on all of of our backs. Have a look at the Panama papers if you doubt me. They take 70% of all money created and never spend it, it is never taxed again now our income is taxed every week to pay their debt. Get it? Of coarse they don't own all of our money they just think they do. What you and I pay is not what Trump pays. If he pays taxes at all.

Wealth by definition isn't "borrowed".

The people borrowing money in your scenario and not paying anything on it are generally college students. On top of that, many of them are being bailed out after 10 years with debt forgiveness, another Wealth transfer money laundering scheme.

Taxation is theft. The govt should Control it's spending and stop looking for ways to steal money that doesn't belong to it. On top of A wealth tax being theft and immoral, it's completely unconstitutional, as if that matters to democrats i suppose.

A rich man's money should be able to be used In whatever way he deems it, the same for a poor man. But since you're in favor of a wealth tax, I'm going to bet you know better how each of their monies is better spent...

Our tax system is broken though, they need to scrap it and Institute a flat tax, but that'll never happen because it would prevent folks like you from demonizing someone or shaking the fist and telling them what you did with their money.

And the trillions of interest we pay on that debt? Every dollar is borrowed when it is created we carry deficits who is paying that.? Flat tax is foolish 😂 "demonizing" lol to funny. taxing the filthy rich is the way out don't believe me even 4 of the top five say they should be taxed a lot more! As far as how they don't spend their money or do, repeat after me this money is borrowed by us once it's in their hands it is gone forever. Yes I'm am all in on a wealth tax. You shouldn't be so afraid. We are also for the death tax. That should freak you out enough. I can't agree with you less. You swallowed the red pill Hook line and sinker you guys kill me. Nonsense
