Warren buys full page ad in Adelson's NV newspaper showing how much wealth tax he'll pay

46. And this is why an ad like this is worrisome to me

If I learned anything from Trump winning the general election, it's that people can be convinced of pretty much ANYTHING if there is enough money being put into a campaign to convince them. The educated electorate knows who Sheldon Adelson is, the vast majority don't. I fear the average easily led American--not just your rich customers who are RW--would read this and think "wow, that's a lot of money in taxes. How much does that mean I'm going to have to pay? She's going to raise my taxes by a fortune!"

Our side has to do a much much better job of fighting back against this narrative. So while I like Warren's bold approach, she needs to make sure she hammers and hammers and hammers on how taxes for middle to lower-income earners won't be going up.
