Senator Warren to Introduce Wealth Tax on Households Worth Over $50 Million
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is joining the Senate Finance Committee,
said her "first order of business" would be to introduce legislation
implementing a wealth tax on fortunes over $50 million. The tax would
likely affect 75,000 of the richest households. "It is time to make the
ultra-rich pay their fair share," Warren said.
