Tax Justice Now (website)

Anyone checked out this website "TaxJusticeNow.org"? It has a neat calculator showing how a weath tax on the richest 1% would affect Billionaires if it had been implemented in 1982.

For example Jeff Bezos was worth $160 Billion in 2018 and he would still be worth $95.3 Billion if there had been an ongoing wealth tax that had been implemented in 1982.

Notice you can change between tax plans of Biden, Sanders and Warren to compare the effects each plan could have. Don't know what the numbers are for Buttigieg's tax plan if he has one.

Think how those tax dollars would have stimulated our economy if that money was in the hands of working class families. It's time for TaxJusticeNow.org .
