One mechanism for achieving this goal is a wealth tax on the ultra-wealthy. The Tax Policy Center recently released an analysis of a new policy called the Five & Dime tax. This proposal would impose a 5% tax on household wealth exceeding $50m and a 10% tax on household wealth over $250m. The Five & Dime tax would raise $6.8tn over 10 years, slow the rate at which the US mints new billionaires, and reduce the billionaires’ share of total US wealth from 4% to 3%.

While breaking up dangerous wealth concentration is reason enough to tax billionaires, this revenue could be invested in programs that support working families and in turn boost the economy. Lawmakers could opt for high-return public investments like debt-free college, helping working families afford childcare, expanding affordable housing,

I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with @zachwahls.bsky.social a few years back and I swear my immediate reaction was “I wish we had more representatives in DC like this guy.” Principled, smart, courageous. If you’re in Iowa, please give him a close look.

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

Each of Trump’s golf outings could have fed over 1,050 seniors Meals on Wheels for 1 year. We’re at about 9,000 elderly people Trump could have fed for a year.

Thou shalt not claim to be improving efficiency when all you do is fire people and then beg them to come back.
