Democrats like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are proposing an annual tax on wealth (all assets, not just income) aimed at the richest Americans.

Most Democrats are pushing controversial proposals to tax the rich. They claim the money would help pay for many things, including: Health care for all A federal childcare program Larger tax credits for the poor and middle-class Climate change action Look, these liberal tax-and-spend proposals sound great.
