Alexandria Ocasio Cortez will be discussing it on this sunday's edition of 60 Minutes, and it's already been picked up by other Democrats, asking them presidential hopefuls.

Hmmmmm... Who's been a champion of taxing the rich around this forum for years now? Oh yeah- me.

I can't wait to hear all the excuses about why it won't work from the 'Democrats' here.

I think she was on last weeks 60 Minutes program.

I haven't watched the full program yet, just seen sound bites. I'm all for getting our debt under better control so I don't have a problem with taxing the wealthy more. I'd like to see us target a max debt of about 75% of GDP.

That's Obamas debt. Last month you were adamant that the economy is doing good because of him lest we all forget.

obama never added a penny to the deficit and hence cannot be held responsible for a single penny of the debt

the economy was doing good under obama it started crashing within days of the end of his last fiscal year
