Three multibillionaires now own more wealth than the bottom half of America – 160 million Americans.

Don’t tell us we can’t afford a wealth tax on the super-rich.

@rbreich We should go back to the 1946 tax rate for millionaires where it is 91% after $200k. Maybe update it to 91% after $1 billion. Tax rates were like that until Reagan and "trickle-down" economics.

@pyager @rbreich

Eisenhower, Republican President after Truman kept most of Roosevelt's, Truman's tax levels, when asked why, said words to the effect, "Lazy money, We only tax lazy money. Upgrade your factory, invest in your business and we dont."

But really, that was before a handfull of men started owning almost all of it.

We need strong, robust, fair, taxation of wealth.
