Warren's money grab is an asset tax levied against one's net worth.
So the question is, what is and is not a direct tax? However, those taxes in some way involve a transaction, while the Warren wealth tax does not Based on that and the precedents, my inclination is that Warren's proposal would be found unconstitutional.
Feldman is a professor of law at Harvard, so it may not surprise one to read his opening statement: "If I were on the U.S. Supreme Court, I would probably vote to find Senator Elizabeth Warren's proposed wealth tax constitutional." But in the blurb we read that the constitutionality question is "Not an easy call." Feldman goes into capitation, the Constitution's three-fifths clause, and he even speculates that Alexander Hamilton would have thought Warren's tax unconstitutional.
If the federal government is going to levy a direct tax, it has to do so in such a way that an equal amount of tax is collected per capita in each state So. What the hell is a direct tax? a direct tax is a tax that applies to a state of being, while an indirect tax applies to an action.
Why would Liz Warren propose a new tax on individuals when we already have a tax on individuals that brings in trillions of dollars? In fact, the federal individual income tax brought in $1.68T in fiscal 2018, the most ever.
Warren wants to have both the old income tax and her new wealth tax.
Raising rates on an existing tax is just so much pussyfooting for Liz, as she and her socialist comrades want to tax everything, including Josh Barro's aforementioned "States of being."(Expect the Dems to propose a tax on "Being" itself, a metaphysical tax.
