Pretty disheartening poll: wide majority of even most republicans support wealth taxes

This is immature envy
Pure and simple
What is going on?

So I should by default support public policy that targets those that have more than me?

No but maybe you should actually look into why it's so popular instead of generalizing people as jealous

Common sense.

It’s popular because of course people would love to get some stuff owned by others
But wealth taxes have an absolutely horrid track record
Of 15 European nations that tried them, 12 eventually repealed them because they raised zero revenue and ended up harming the economy.

A wealth tax violates the Apportionment Clause of Article One of the constitution. Opposing a wealth tax is not defending the 1%; it’s defending the constitution.

Why are wealth taxes common sense when they have failed in every nation that has tried them?

Envy and jealousy will be what ultimately brings this country to ashes.

Actually I mean the super rich elite that buy lobbyists and politicians. That are able to skirt around many of the taxes to the point where they come nowhere close in paying their fair share

LOL
It took the 16th Amendment to impose a constitutional income tax.
Neither the word "wealth", nor "assets" are in that Amendment.

This surprises you?
Majority of republicans support a heavy policy stage, support patriot act, are way more "socially conservative than fiscally conservative"
This doesn't surprise me at all.
I wouldn't be surprised if the so called republicans support single payer system that are all on Medicare/Medicaid.
Fiscal conservativism is dead.

if we are talking about those that manage to skirt paying what they should on earned income, then maybe you have a point
but taxing accumulated wealth, earnings that have already been subjected to taxes, then that's where I have a problem
and I apologize for my earlier harsh reply, kudos to you for coming back with a solid response after I was an a-hole

Why A new tax though?
Seems to me if they are skirting the system and doing it by lobbying politicians for a quid pro quo of tax exemptions the answer should be to to root out the corruption, not allow those same politicians to create a new tax.
Why anyone would want to de-incentivize prosperity?

Never understood why a flat tax rate with a mandatory minimum tax rate isn’t favorable by all. Say you have a 20% tax rate and regardless of what write offs you take, the mandatory minimum is 12 or 15%.
Whatever it takes to make the numbers work.
