Bernie Sanders hunts down the billionaires

I don’t know if Bernie Sanders is seriously considering a third run at the presidency, but he certainly seems to be upping his game in attempting to impress his fellow socialist Democrats. (Actually, he just endorsed Joe Biden and predicted he will win “in a landslide.”) He used to be content with calling for a “wealth tax” on billionaires. But during an interview this week on CNN, he took it to the next level. He essentially told Chris Wallace that he wants to make billionaires in the United States extinct. He didn’t use that specific word, of course, and he didn’t suggest murdering anyone. But he did call for having the government confiscate every dollar someone earns after they reach 999 million dollars in a year. Every last penny of it. So under his plan, nobody would earn a billion dollars ever again. You have to wonder how Elon Musk feels about the idea. (Daily Wire)Read More
