Well, the Dems intend to partially fund the upcoming legislation with a wealth tax on roughly 750 Americans. The plan, released this morning, calls for the tax to apply to gains every year, instead of only at sale, to a taxpayer with $1B in assets or a taxpayer who earned $100M in income for three consecutive years.

Stay tuned to see if this ultimately makes it into the enacted legislation and then passes 16th Amendment muster as determined by a conservative Supreme Court.
