Democratic debate 2019: de Blasio to unveil plan to ‘tax the hell out of the wealthy’

Mayor Bill de Blasio plans to unveil a plan he’ll tout as the “most aggressive wealth tax” during Wednesday night’s Democratic debate.

In fact, De Blasio, in his opening statement said, “When I am president, we will even up the score, and we will tax the hell out of the wealthy.”

Hizzoner’s proposal would bring in an additional $1 trillion a year, according to his spokeswoman Jaclyn Rothenberg.

As part of his long-shot presidential bid, de Blasio has tried to pitch himself as a candidate looking out for working people — but he hasn’t been getting much attention.

“There’s plenty of money in this country – it’s just in the wrong hands,” de Blasio has repeated through his quixotic campaign.

His plan would lob a 1% wealth tax on people who have $10 million or more, 2% on those with more than $25 million and 3 percent for folks with more than $100 million.

De Blasio’s plans also adds a “Turncoat Tax” that would punish Americans who try to skip out on taxes by moving assets overseas.

He also wants the country to raise income tax brackets and rates.
