Democratic Senator Ron Wyden has a plan to make the ultrarich pay.

These are the stupid ideas the Democrats come up with. There are three billionaires in Oregon. Three. If this passes I suspect they will just move.

At the federal level, this would be unconstitutional.

    It can’t. Social security is done by the Feds.

    It’s against the constitution to tax wealth. The second someone tried to pass that, it would be struck down by scotus.

    At most a state could do it and they’d lose the billionaires.

    To do this they’d have a pass an amendment and there is zero chance they’ll happen.

    And when have democrats radically raised taxes? Trump was the last one to screw with high income tax earners with the salt limit
