Elizabeth Warren rubs her hands in glee to get to John Delaney’s money during wealth tax question
Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-Mass.) excited reaction to former Rep. John Delaney’s (D-Md.) presidential primary debate question on a wealth tax has turned heads of her critics.
During Tuesday night’s debate, CNN anchor and debate moderator Don Lemon asked Delaney about whether Warren’s wealth tax was a fair funding source for child care and education, prompting Warren to giddily rub her hands together.
“Your estimated net worth is more than $65 million. That would make you subject to Sen. Warren’s proposed wealth tax on the assets of the richest 75,000 homes, households or so in the United States,” Lemon said to Delaney. “Do you think Senator Warren’s wealth tax is a fair way to fund child care and education?”
