With all due respect, what world are you living in. It was and is the very Republicans who are in power now who concocted this scam. As long as they remain in power your ideas have a snowballs chance in hell or getting passed. Even if we could pull out of this mess we are in, it is highly unlikely that we could get this through Congress, as they all have to much money to lose to agree to that. The only way you can get something like this passed is at the point of a gun. We know that is not going to happen. I would like to see this but I don't expect to see it.
The point of my article is to move the need on public opinion. If Dems (not necessarily the party, but the people) start pushing this kind of messaging, we can move the Overton window.
I have no delusion that the current congress would pass my plan; that isn't the purpose of this article.
If you read more of my work, you will see much of it is designed to aggressively attack the damage that the Fascist (Republican) party has done to America.
"The only way you can get something like this passed is at the point of a gun."
To your point, what do you think would happen if we were to open the eyes of the gun toting "the 2nd Amendment is more important than the 1st" types to the fact that the fascists have been ripping them off for 40 years? Again, it's all a matter of public opinion/sentiment. In the words of Lincoln:
"Public sentiment is everything. With it, nothing can fail; against it, nothing can succeed."
My goal is to take back control of public opinion, Congress and the White House will just be a byproduct.
It’s not complicated at all. MAGA wants to take us back to the fifties but high taxes on wealth is one of the main reasons things were better then, economically anyway.
Great points. Are there any bills introduced last few years that capture this proposal?
Not that I know. Warren talked about a wealth tax, but it was substantially smaller if I remember right

It's all about Public Opinion.
