That doesn’t mean the rich will be eaten or even defenestrated just yet, but administrative work needed to implement the tax can continue. Trump eventually got to his point: To protect himself from a tax surcharge on his Trump Tower penthouse, which would almost certainly be subject to the tax, Trump will magnanimously protect everyone in New York from having their multimillion-dollar penthouses taxed, too. Trump didn’t identify any US laws that might be involved, but that’s what he has an army of Heritage Foundation lawyers for. Still, the really important thing is that Trump is pushing the fear button yet again, because only jihadists support taxing the rich. New York City voters are also enthusiastic about the idea, with 62% of those polled by Siena supporting the idea.
