        I mean we are talking about a US issue, so yeah it does matter what the US thinks on US issues, and it really doesn’t matter what the rest of the world thinks.

        There aren’t many countries out there who don’t have a history of that stuff, I don’t see why the issues of the past matter at all in this scenario.

                Nobody is actually suggesting income tax brackets here, they are suggesting taxing loans and taxing wealth. The things being suggested here have never been done, and yes they are radical because nobody had been crazy enough to implement these ideas ever in the whole history of the US.

                    Most of the wealth these billionaires have is ownership in their own companies, to take away that ownership because it’s worth too much according to the stock market is insane
