Tax wealth, not work
That's kinda why the rich are called "the wealthy" and not "the worky"
I'll make the same argument that I made in another thread, but now that I've got Bernie on my side, maybe people will listen.
TAXING THE RICH DOESN'T MEAN RAISING THE TAX RATES.
It means regulation, oversight, and accountability. You can set the tax rate to any number you want, but it won't matter if no one is making them pay it. We have to hold them accountable first, and then we can bring the rates back up to something from the pre-Reagan era.
I agree the rich aren't being taxed right now, but why argue on what the phrase does or doesn't mean instead of argue how it can best be achieved? Or like Bernie does, argue why it is necessary?
