I noticed people were upset about Trump's $5,000 per citizen proposal. Meanwhile, Bernie and Ro Khanna have suggested a billionaire tax that would give $12,000 to a family of four. Please refer to the link on Bernie's website. https://www.sanders.senate.gov/press-releases/news-sanders-and-khanna-introduce-legislation-to-tax-billionaire-wealth-and-invest-in-working-families/ Bernie Sanders has proposed a $12,000 payment for working families of four, but this is not a current giveaway and has not been enacted into law. It is a legislative proposal called the “Make Billionaires Pay Their Fair Share Act.” WASHINGTON, March 2 — Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP), and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) today introduced the Make Billionaires Pay Their Fair Share Act, legislation that would establish a 5% annual wealth tax on the 938 billionaires in America — who are now collectively worth $8.2 trillion. In its first year, the bill would provide a $3,000 direct payment to every man, woman and child in a household making $150,000 or less — $12,000 for a family of four — and use the estimated $4.4 trillion in revenue raised over the next decade to address the most pressing crises facing working families.
