And it's a tax that would greatly harm many Democrat donors. "The rich" tend to be democrat donors as part of their image rehab and guilt assuagement.

They can't turn off their donor class like that. The six figure "rich" are much safer targets.

i also agree with this. sounds like it's something that should/could be used against them. get a Bernie-like progressive rallying the poor with this idea and put the DEMs at a crossroads between the voter class and donor class
