What Went Down In The Fifth Democratic Debate

The wealth tax hasn’t gotten a lot of attention in these debates so far, at least compared to an issue like health care. It’s arguably Warren’s signature policy, though. And it is quite popular — but as I wrote recently, there are a lot of questions about its practicality, including whether it would be constitutional.

I wonder if this will be what the health care portion was last time, where the left and center battle it out, allowing the other candidates to challenge Warren in particular.

Interesting that Booker is explicitly criticizing opposing the wealth tax. “It’s cumbersome,” Booker says. He is going for the Mayor Pete vote, I think.
