Potential tax rates over 100% could result from the combination of tax increases the Massachusetts senator proposes for the very top tier of investors. She wants to return the top income-tax rate to 39.6% from 37%, impose a new 14.8% tax for Social Security, add an annual tax of up to 6% on accumulated wealth and require rich investors to pay capital-gains taxes at the same rates as other income even if they don’t sell their assets.

The Warren tax calculator(here) intentionally conflates net worth and income. These leftist will tax us all to death within the first year.

You’d pay $6.379 billion next year under Elizabeth’s wealth tax. This amount,which you likely won’t even feel, will help us invest in education from birth through college and help finance health care for everyone.
