Now this is the kind of pissing contest I like. Hard on the heels of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s 70% marginal Income Tax on Incomes over $1 Million, Professor Senator Elizabeth Warren is proposing a Wealth Tax on Net Worth over $50 Million.

Is ‘Centrism’ Inherently Racist?
As I pointed out in my piece about Tom Brokaw below, since the Status Quo is an Institutionally Racist system, those who support it are endorsing Institutional Racism, the more so because they also are in favor of Wealth Inequality and a Class System without advancement or escape.
