What Went Down In The Fifth Democratic Debate

I’ve been waiting to see a good take on how impeachment will affect the Democratic primary (as in, who does well in that situation), and … I haven’t. Is that just evidence that impeachment won’t affect the primary, or am I missing something?

Yeah, Perry. The wealth tax has been tried in other countries and it hasn’t really worked as they wanted. There are also questions about its constitutionality.

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.
