Left-wing independent senator Bernie Sanders has said the US govt should confiscate 100% of any money that people make above $999m. “Are you basically saying that once you get to $999m that the govt should confiscate all the rest?” Sanders was asked during an interaction. “Yeah,” Sanders replied. “You may disagree with me but, fine, I think people can make it on $999m. I think that they can survive just fine.” “You can have a vibrant economy without [a few] people owning more wealth than the bottom half of American society,” he added.
