A reminder of when Leon Cooperman was crying over a wealth tax.

1. That's a disingenuous statement...if we really attacked the tax code they'd howl.

Let's start with the capital gains and inheritance taxes

2. Of course it is...that is why he is using it.

The tax code is complicated because it was made complicated as a method of allowing wealthy people to pay less taxes. All of the loopholes and hideaways were created to allow the wealthy to hire their teams of accountants and lawyers to exploit them and hide their money from taxation.

He knows this. He is lying.

4. Let's go back to 94% rate that was in effect under Eisenhower. Seriously.

6. Warren Buffet once saved 136 million on a tax cut. He said "I don't need it" (the cut). Truth.

Truth is rare for the uber rich, but I appreciate it when it is uttered.

7. Attack the tax code??? But billionaires made the tax code what it is...ask any lobbyist. nt
