“Advisers to presidential candidate Joe Biden are weighing the introduction of a new tax on Wall Street, as the former vice president now stands alone among the Democratic presidential front-runners in not backing a multitrillion-dollar ‘wealth tax’ on the richest Americans,” the Washington Post reports.

“The plan under consideration from Biden’s advisers could tax financial transactions such as the sale of stocks and bonds.”

They're "weighing" the idea. Floating it so the public will think Biden is going to be tough on corporations like his rising primary challenger Elizabeth Warren.

Wealth redistribution and all that...isn't Biden afraid the Wall Street Dems will sit out the election or support Trump?





Let's see the plan, Joe - how much pain will you bring to the 1%?
