Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said in an interview this week that he believes that all money people make over $999 million per year should be confiscated by the government.
The socialist senator made the remarks during an interview with Chris Wallace on CNN’s “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace.”
“Sir, you’re saying that billionaires should not exist,” Wallace said. “So are you basically saying that once you get to $999 million, that the government should confiscate all the rest?”
“I’m saying that we should go back to a very progressive tax policy like what we had under Dwight D. Eisenhower,” Sanders said.
“Which would mean that, over a billion dollars, it basically all goes to the government?” Wallace pressed.
“Yeah,” Sanders responded. “You may disagree with me, fine. Yeah, I think people can make it on $999 million.”

Yknow, I don’t think the Daily Wire realizes that it’s really, really hard for me to get worried or sad about someone with 999 million dollars getting taxed, no matter what kind of language they use.

This is literally the entire article.
It's not a concrete policy proposal, it's just Sanders talking to Chris Wallace. This is clickbait.
