I find it funny how bad faith commenters immediately reach for the "COMMUNISM" bugle the microsecond any tax increase for the ultra-wealthy is proposed.

Taxes on the highest income bracket during Dwight D. Eisenhower's presidency where 90%.

90%.

Ya know, during the 1950s. The so called "Golden Years" of the USA. Fiercely anti-communist, Cold War going on.

And here we were taxing the richest at 90%.

That's how I know your comment is in bad faith.

Income vs wealth tax. These aren't comparable.

The amount paid by the proposed wealth tax is a paltry sum compared to the income tax. They absolutely are comparable.
