    . has long been an advocate for systemic change, w/ bold proposals like imposing a wealth tax on billionaires. These are the types of policies we need to overhaul the corrupt system that got Trump elected. My interview from the archives:

    This is a disgusting comment. And remember: Schwarzman isn’t just any old billionaire — he is Donald Trump’s billionaire adviser who cut a GOP super PAC a $5 million check right after the GOP gave him a giant tax cut
    Fortune’s Alan Murray just asked Steve Schwarzman to respond at a book event to Bernie Sanders’ statement that billionaires shouldn’t exist. Schwarzman said: “Maybe Bernie Sanders shouldn’t exist.”

    Schwarzman is worth $17 billion. He would pay over $1.1 billion more in taxes under Bernie's plan to tax the extreme wealth of the top 0.1%. Schwarzman also compared Obama to Hitler when he tried to close the carried interest loophole. Disgusting.
    “Maybe shouldn’t exist,” says Blackstone’s Schwarzman in response to asking him to defend billionaires, which Sanders says should NOT exist

    I’m not going anywhere. But billionaires can be damn sure they’ll pay their fair share when I am president.

    Defeating Trump is not enough. We need leadership that will fight for working families and the shrinking middle class, not just the 1%. That is exactly what I have done my whole life and what I am prepared to do as president.

    Interesting that Amazon employees top donor list to campaign. did some great coverage last year on Sanders' complaints about Amazon workers receiving food stamps; later Bezos announced $15/hour minimum wage

    “The only effective answer to organized greed is organized labor.” While the media carries on about polling, Bernie is quietly building a movement of working class voters, the only real way to take on the lopsided power structure that got us into this mess to begin with.
    Top occupation of Bernie donors: teacher Top employers: Starbucks, Walmart, Amazon…

    We have a wealth tax on the middle class and upper middle class known as 'property taxes' and it has not been repealed. It's weird that taxing the politically connected super-wealthy has so many implementation issues.
    We should learn from other countries. Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands and Sweden all tried a wealth tax and then repealed it, mainly because of the implementation issues and that it did not generate as much revenue as projected.

    ➡️ Our average donation: $19 ➡️ Most common profession: Teachers ➡️ Over 1 million donors ➡️ 99.9% can give again We don’t need billionaires. We don’t need a super PAC. We have the people, and that is much more powerful.

    The greed of Mnuchin, Mankiw, Summers and Dimon destroyed the lives of millions, while enriching the top 1%. It's time to do the exact opposite of what they support. :
