A "wealth tax" on the rich will not work! The rich are those who own and control our companies and industries. Taxing them further will only cause them to pass those extra costs along to consumers by increasing the costs of the products and services they offer. So it would be the consumers who ultimately pay the tax increase, not the rich. Unfortunately socialists like Bernie Sanders, and those who support such ideas, are simply not bright enough to understand that fact.
