Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers III: Weekend at Bernie's

Whether you set the top marginal rate at 37% (Warren) or 47% (Bernie) or 77% (AOC) or 97% (Kepler) is not semantics. It's basically the only significant difference in American fiscal policy.

These are real debates and they are going to require real substantive policy arguments. The question of whether to have a wealth tax -- an entirely new qualitative method of protecting freedom from its brutalization by wealth -- is a huge difference. The pundits are just a stand-in for the 1% -- really, the 0.1% -- who own this country. They aren't going to permit that idea to get a fair hearing.

That ALL has to get through Congress. While their stances are helpful, ultimately Congress will decide.
