Elizabeth Warren's plan has relatively static projections in it.
The CBO scoring plan does the same.
Cuban is essentially telling us, change the rules and I change how I play the game.
So almost NONE of what we should be expecting is going to happen.

This is the problem with these things. They SOUND okay on paper, but the minute they start hitting the road, they fall apart.

It is notable that the Netherland's 'tax on wealth' begins at about $50,000. Warren talks about beginning at $50mm or whatever, but the odds that this number stays anywhere near that level when it doesn't remotely create the sort of revenue they're expecting is close to zero.

The problem is that the Warren plan suffers the same issues as the 'maximum age before vasectomy' bill.

Warren is simply stoking the one hit trick pony that has become modern progressivism --- that is hitting a class based underlying message of envy and jealousy, and how inherently 'unfair', 'unjust', 'unreasonable', and 'inequitable' anything is that associated with those whom have more.

Wash, rinse, repeat and replace race with socioeconomic status for the cover version of the "Progressive's Greatest Hits".
