Everybody has wealth and what starts as an "only for the wealthy" tax eventually happens to the middle class. Never mind that progressive taxation violates equal protection under the law. Warren has no idea what consequences her proposals may well have. With a wealth tax you're compelling the sale of stocks; ownership in companies that may represent control by good management. You could adversely affect stock prices by forcing sales.
The list of unintended (or is it intended) consequences could go on and on. Simplicity in a flat tax for all will lead to far better results and have a legal and moral basis.
Stuff like this should send a chill down your back. It is Orwellian. Obamacare increased IRS power and funding. What won't the socialist Democrats not trust to government.
Warren’s proposal includes at least three new mechanisms to combat tax evasion, according to a person familiar with the plan. Those are a significant increase in funding for the Internal Revenue Service; a mandatory audit rate requiring a certain number of people who pay the wealth tax to be subject to an audit every year; and a one-time tax penalty for those who have more than $50 million and try to renounce their U.S. citizenship.
