I say no to a "wealth tax", instead raising the marginal income tax rate on income over $1,000,000 to 60%.
At the same time, we do need to 'scrub' the budget, cutting waste... especially in the defense department. I think we can shave a good bit off without hurting our missions abroad or the safety and benefits of our troops.
We need to increase our revenue in order to balance our budget and begin paying our national debt down.
If the rich, as the single biggest holders of wealth and the best group to help achieve this, cannot understand how important that is to our nation and to the present and future growth of the economy, then they really deserve to have their money taken away.
