About these wealth taxes proposed by Warren and Sanders.

Warren would tax income above $50M and Sanders everything above $32M. Neither would be raising their own taxes. The Warren's are worth $12M and the Sanders are worth $2.5M. To say that either family is engaging in self sacrifice is not true.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I fully support some form of wealth tax, where the upper handful of earners pay more. That's essentially the way it was once upon a time, and the US did pretty good throughout that period.

It sounds like you're not in favor of people who are well off paying more.
