I wonder what the support is after Warren revealed her tax plans?

I would think that increasing the capital gains taxes and requiring taxes on stock appreciation regardless of they are sold would affect Silicon Valley workers who often have a large part of their competition as stocks/equity.

For that reason, big Wallstreet banks have threatened not to support Warren if she becomes the Democratic candidate. But apparently plenty of employees of those Wallstreet banks do support her for exactly that reason: they know better than anyone that the situation at the top of their employer is unhealthy.
I'd expect to see a lot of foreign investors pull their money out of the US and invest elsewhere.
