Why a “Billionaire” Wealth Tax Would Hurt the Working Poor and the Middle Class
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders wants to tax billionaires out of existence, or at least make them an endangered species. His proposed wealth tax of up to 8 percent per year would mean “the wealth of billionaires would be cut in half over 15 years,” he says. The progressive tax would start at 1 percent on retained wealth over $32 million, rising to 2 percent over $50 million, and so on, reaching to the top rate of 8 percent on wealth over $10 billion. Whatever is left would be taxed again the following year, and every year until it was gone.

A Judge’s Wrongheaded Ruling Saves Harvard’s Non-Colorblind Admission Policy
Wittingly or not, the judge has kicked the matter closer to the Supreme Court, where this heinous practice will eventually be ended. The university regularly rates Asian American applicants lower on criteria such as “leadership qualities” and “sense of humor.” Harvard’s discriminatory program—which is hardly an outlier among Ivy League institutions—appears to be heading to the Supreme Court.
The New York Times’ 1619 Project Reeks of Herbert Marcuse’s Divisive Ideology
Marcuse and the other critical theorists who came from Germany, escaping Hitler, discovered an America filled with happy consumers, and that royally bummed them out. The critical theory Marcuse and his colleagues created has now been recast as “critical race theory.” The New York Times undoubtedly will never apologize for its deceptive “1619 Project.”
