Elizabeth Warren said "We have an opportunity right now to do a billionaire’s tax for -- yeah, Jeff Bezos, I’m looking at you. These guys who declare $83,000 in income and, of course, control billions of dollars in assets. If we come in and do a tax on the fewer than 700 billionaires we’ve got, and we do it based not on their income, we got to do it based on what they own, and we do a minimum corporate tax, we cannot only help fund a lot of that child care and climate change fight that we need to fund, we can also help make the system a little fairer." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
