Fantastic. This is an anti-capitalist proposal, and would not be good for the economy. Attacking the upper class will not save the lower class. If the upper class thrives, there will be jobs and more economic opportunity for all.

Pure trickle down economics doesn't work.

But the idea that just taxing the rich will solve our economic problems when no one has given a serious proposal to how they'd balance the budget  and reduce the debt with the additional revenue is naive. Everyone wants to give the goverment more money when they've shown they arley make efficent investments with that money.

This. It's time for the nuclear option, even though Republicans may benefit from it at some point.

Remember, $47,000,000,000 in extra revenue from millionaires is a barely significant sum of money.  But, $300,000,000 in spending for breast cancer screenings and birth control is waaaaay too much money.

The key issue is how much the tax will raise in comparison to how much of a drag it will be on the economy.

The only way to resolve this is for the Dems to get the House back and King cross party lines and attach it to a reconcillation bill if it is a 49-49 Dem controlled senate.
