Trump acquired his wealth through fraud and bullshit. He was such a train wreck that no American bank would touch him anymore. If some dipshit at a TV studio hadn't given Trump a game show, Lyin' Donald would have sunk into oblivion and permanent bankruptcy.
I doubt he's even a billionaire.
Much of his “wealth” is the value of the Trump name
After he leaves office, it will have the value of the Nixon name
Not exactlyAs others have pointed out, that strong society is already paid for by the wealthy.Not quite...She most certainly is saying that we need to tax the rich more. She says it quite plainly all the time. And she justifies it with this "you didn't build that" bullshit. When liberals say "you didn't build that", they are really saying "You didn't earn that". And since you didn't earn it, it is okay to confiscate it.She did NOT say that. Anywhere.Warren is using the same tired communist argument that rich people didn't earn their money and therefore it is okay to rob them of whatever amount we please.
See my signature. Ronald Reagan.
So you think a person earning $16,000 per year, living in a single wide on his grandpa's property, should pay the same tax rate as Donald Trump and his business?
Explain, please.
That's the mindset at work here.
On the flipside, I am deeply opposed to tax expenditures, too. I do not believe someone should be rewarded with a refund of tax dollars for behaving the way the government wants them to behave. Those tax expenditures have to be replaced by either taxing everyone at higher rates or by borrowing.
Our government does both. It taxes all of us more, and borrows TRILLIONS. Trump has made sure our government has to borrow even more than ever.
This is why I have become more and more supportive of the Fair Tax over the years. One which has NO exemptions. No exemptions is critical.
All she is saying is that you do not accumulate wealth or preserve wealth without the benefit of a strong society.
Given that the wealthy benefit more, they should contribute more
As a matter of fact, our entire infrastructure was built by private business for over a hundred years.
Warren is just another hack who justifies the theft of more property by claiming the victims deserve to have their goods taken from them.
As Warren points out, the taxpayer provides them with an educated workforce which they profit off.
G is right that in the old days, they did build and own major toll roads and of course the trains and steam ship lines were all private and the railroad did own and build all its tracks. The point is, I don't know that we could go back to that at this point. Those folks back then were making a profit, and I'm not sure how one would make a profit on roads and bridges these days unless they were ALL made toll-roads and bridges again.Private business built and profited from huge infrastructure projects.

What hundred years was that? I'm not sure that's accurate.
Private business profits from using that infrastructure we provide to obtain supplies and provide goods and services
Neither is Trump. He spends the donations to his fake charity to buy paintings of himself and on his campaign.Jeff Bezos is no John D Rockefeller, that's for sure
The problem is not that rich people are taxed too little.
The problem is that our federal government has become so fucking bloated and spends too much.
70 percent of government expenditures are transfer payments.
And now Warren wants to steal even more from the rich rather than trim the government.
Fuck that shit.
Very amusing when rich Democrats try to demonize rich people and idiot Democrats fall for it.

The problem entirely is that it is such huge amounts of money that these people dont even treat it like it's real money any more. $2M to study gay shrimp? No problem, and so on and so forth. My God.........

He should be locked up just for that alone.

I see it as pretty much the same thing as when republican voters chime in demonizing the poor.
Are you referring to generational poor?Very amusing when rich Democrats try to demonize rich people and idiot Democrats fall for it.

The Pentagon cannot account for $21T it disappeared between 1998-2015. Who's God?
Gee, if only people spent 10 seconds googling instead of making shit up.What did Jeff Bezos give to charity last year, $50?

Jeff Bezos Is Making His Biggest Charitable Donation Ever. See the $2 Billion Details
Bezos, the reigning world’s richest man, released a statement on Twitter on Thursday explaining that he and his wife MacKenzie were committing $2 billion to launch a new initiative called the Bezos Day One Fund.
The charitable fund will “focus on two areas,” Bezos explained: “funding existing non-profits that help homeless families, and creating a network of new, non-profit, tier-one pre-schools in low-income communities.”
Our early forms of welfare and our public schools were always paid for with local taxes. Always, from back when we were colonials. I've read a bunch of Town Meeting Minutes from the 1760's and on, and they were reimbursing the family taking care of the orphan and paying the doctor for the old guy too sick to care for himself and delivering firewood to the widow with a mess of kids. From taxes. They were also collecting taxes to extend and maintain the roads, and people could work off that part of their tax by working on the road for a certain number of days. And the schools were also organized and funded by the town's taxes.The true irony is that our country became the most powerful country in the world not by government fiat but through philanthropy. Our libraries, and Universities, and yes even our early forms of welfare were all given through private money from very rich individuals. Not government funding.
Look around today and see that the very richest people in this country are mostly Democrats and they don't spend shit on charity compared to what the old Robber Barons used to.
Jeff Bezos is no John D Rockefeller, that's for sure
