在彭博億萬富翁排行榜上的世界前500名富翁們，今年又多賺了1.2兆美元，以國家來看，#美國 有最多的 #億萬富豪，在這個榜單上占了第一名，有人可能很自豪，但也讓美國國內 #貧富不均 的辯論，更加激烈。
美國過去40年，真正享受到經濟成長好處的，只有頂尖的那1%的人。但貧富不均制度要怎麼改？
有眾議員提出對年薪超過1000萬美金的有錢人課70%的邊際稅率（marginal tax rate），這辦法可行嗎？公平嗎？最重要的是能解決貧富差距問題嗎？

華倫女士呼聲變高.......華爾街緊張了.
"Warren’s rise in the polls was highlighted in bold face in a worry list compiled by David Rosenberg, the chief economist and strategist at Gluskin Sheff. While investors should be concerned about trade and China, along with a litany of global concerns, “the No. 1 issue should actually be the rising prospect of an Elizabeth Warren presidency, coupled with the House [of Representatives] staying Democrat and the Senate flipping that way,” he wrote to clients.
Warren, while declaring herself a capitalist to draw a distinction from Sanders, an avowed democratic socialist, “has made it very clear that she is no friend of the equity market,” he continues. And the Massachusetts senator has a point, Rosenberg adds. One of the biggest bull markets of all time created tremendous wealth—some $27.4 trillion since the low of March 2009, by Wilshire Associates’ calculations—but failed to deliver on facilitating capital investment, as textbooks teach. “On that file, she does have a leg to stand on,” he contends.
Adding to the rising prospect of a Warren nomination, the market also has to deal with the impeachment inquiry for President Donald Trump and its impact on his chances of reelection. And if the economy slows sufficiently to push up the unemployment rate, his odds would fade further.
Moreover, impeachment would likely make the already unproductive Congress even more so. Issues such as a vote on the USMCA trade deal, drug pricing, and the like probably would remain stalled. The impeachment proceedings also “all but ensures that we are going to see a de facto tax INCREASE on the corporate sector come 2021,” MacroMavens’ Stephanie Pomboy alertly points out.
The end of provisions such as immediate expensing would be equivalent to a seven-to-eight percentage point increase in the statutory tax rate. “YIKES!!,” she comments. “Yeah, I know 2021 is a lifetime away. But if you are a CEO, you’re going to start factoring in that change in 2020, which, it bears reminding, is just three months away.” All of which will weigh on the already deteriorating profit outlook, she concludes.
The bottom line for next year’s presidential race is that it seems increasingly likely to pit Trump, the stock market’s No. 1 cheerleader, against Warren, “a cheer-less leader,” as Rosenberg dubbed her, who favors higher marginal tax rates, hikes in capital-gains and dividend levies, plus a wealth tax, to help pay for Medicare for all. Some choice."
