Abdul El-Sayed: “I think billionaires should pay their fair share back into the system. I think we should tax billionaire wealth. Take some of that money, bring it back to public education. Take some of that money, build schools and roads, provide healthcare, provide childcare. I am a capitalist,... but I believe too many people can’t participate in capitalism because what we have right now is actually corporatism”show more

nailed it. This isn’t anti-capitalism , it’s fixing corporatism that locks people out. Taxing billionaire wealth to fund schools, roads, healthcare, and childcare gives more people a real shot to participate and compete. That’s how you build a stronger system, not a weaker one.

He is promoting class warfare and Welker doesn't challenge him. She knows the problem with Detroit schools has nothing to do with money, but she remains silent, why? She should be fired immediately, unless her corporate bosses agree with liars like El-Sayed. Do they?

It's corporate corruption enabled by custom tax cuts/deductions/exclusions for multi-billionaires, who own virtually all of their wealth in entities rather than in their own names. All approved by Congress, SCOTUS, or both. Plus they are subsidized by the government/taxpayers.

He's basically asking that wealthy people do what they did during the countries strongest points. If you think we can get back there without doing the things we did then, you're an insane person

When you have the ability to do something you do it. @JeffBezos @elonmusk you can meaningfully give back at any moment, 3 day work weeks, plus a pay raise for a one income house. You both can do that right now. When you give back to the community, they can feel you are there for them, everything else is in the wind.

what we have today is a kleptocratic fascist technocratic oligarchy... look it up see if I'm wrong, America hasn't been a democracy since congress passed citizens united, it won't be fixed until we repeal citizens united

How about the trillion dollars in fraud how about we recover that

I agree. When the majority of our big companies cannot share a fraction of their profits in the form of raises and only share the profits with their shareholders and the c-suite, we are a corporatist society.

We noticed.

Class warfare? People up here defending billionaires like they won't still be billionaires if they had to pay a wealth tax. You have no idea how much more richer than a millionaire they are. There are only 989 of them and they hold $8.4 trillion combined in the US.

@rm36863307 It’s not his money to take. Who the hell do Communist Democrats think they are constantly wanting to take what other people work for.

Corporatism? Damn he’s good

These are the dumbest words ever spoken. Manipulation is the way of the left. Completely and utter nonsense 100% designed for theft

hes not a capitalist and we already tax billionaires. alot.

Worked to build America during the 50's, it'll work today.

I think he is the most brilliant person running for the senate...policy wise he is spot on...Sadly historically republican racist attacks have been politically successful.

Wait !!! Fuck you

lying fuck, go back to Egypt

That's more liberal BS In the liberals hands the money will disappear as fraud before it does any good

Tax and spend, tax and spend, tax and spend,…

@ArtemisBSG Billionaires already pay most of the taxes. One thing is for sure is that democrats always think that spending more money will fix everything. Their track record is 0% success. But this time it will work!! You have ti be a fool to vote for these people!

What a really stupid question! And what a great answer!

We spend more per child on public education and get less for it that any other country! You want more money to indoctrinate young Communists!

Abdul El-Sayed is a little pissant phony. POCAHONTAS is taller than that little pissant. He hates America, Americans and Jews.

A federal wealth tax is unconstitutional.

"I think billionaires should pay their fair share back into the system" Almost all billionaires have more than 90% of their wealth "in the system". He knows this. It is the same exact thing his family does with all of their wealth lol.

Yep

Our billionaires are already paying the majority of the total taxes.. What is your plan when they are taxed to death, and either leave the US, or go bankrupt?? Once that money is gone where do you think the taxes will come from?? The only corporatism is big pharma…

What an idiot. Like taxes on billionaires stay taxes on billionaires!! I see the camel’s nose wants to get under the tent (I see what you did there!)
