That net worth has already been taxed (presumably) to reduce it to what it is. Typically people worth that kind of money have their assets tied up in non liquid form so to meet Lizzy's requirement one would have to sell an asset. Think of the consequences of that. High worth individuals would have to take a portion of their worth and not invest it, but keep it in a liquid form. Liawatha, scalping the billionaires and burning our economy at the stake.

B-Man Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 YOU KNOW WHO’D BAN FRACKING? A PUTIN PUPPET. THAT’S WHO’D BAN FRACKING. Elizabeth Warren’s fracking ban pledge shows a ‘total lack of understanding,’ oil guru Yergin says. .

I'm just waiting for the line from Warren that those billionaires aren't sufficiently patriotic because they won't sell assets in order to pay outrageous taxes. Not willingly sacrificing your wealth to advance a communist agenda is unAmerican, dammit! 1

It's like the dumbass Left who kept calling for Trump to divest himself of all property so that there could not be any conflicts of interest as President. They have no clue what that would involve tax wise and bargaining wise to force those sales.

Buffalo_Gal Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 One less clown-car participant. How much longer can he continue his campaign? And wow, I didn't realize it was next week!! That will be a "great" week for the Ds - first the "impeachment" hearings debacle quickly followed by a debate to remind people just what their choice will be next year: President Trump or a crazy Democrat. Julián Castro to miss November debate The former HUD secretary is falling well short of the polling threshold to make the stage in Atlanta next week. [Nov 20] Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro won't qualify for the next Democratic presidential primary debate, the only candidate still in the race who participated in the October debate to miss out on November's. </snip> 1 1

In a way too early prediction, I think it will be Mayor Pete against Trump. He's been the best so far at not saying anything people are paying attention to and not doing anything illegal. He's got the best strategy. Keep the crazy in check enough to get through the primaries.

It truly will be desperate times if he is nominated at the convention. 1

The DNC very badly wants this to go to the Senate even if the vote will be against impeachment.

The Democrat leadership has to know that a trial in the Senate will be an unmitigated disaster for them come November - as in Trump may hit 400+ electoral votes-type disaster. 2

If the House impeaches, a thorough trial in the Senate is what the GOP would prefer. In that scenario the dems will be crushed.

The texture of this move changes by the hour. The Democrat lines of defense keep getting knocked down repeatedly in the last few days. They could be much more vulnerable at this point than we realize. Stay tuned.
