americar, the 99% in pay about 7.2% of their total wealth in texas -- taxes. 1% paid less,of 3.2%. here is how we can think about this. we can think about it one of two ways. we can say we will redistribute. we will cut it off and sprinkle it around. or we can say we are going to invest in building a future. we are going to invest in childcare, canceling student debt, in better public education. to me, the whole question around the wealth tax is about our values. do we think it is more important that the people who already have the biggest hunk of the pie can pie growing that type -- faster while a huge portion of our population cannot even get in the game? what i'm trying to do with the wealth tax is a starting place to say, as a country, we need to live our values. and living our values means asking those at the top to make an investment in an entire generation of young people. it is something democrats like, independents like, republicans like. if we fight for it, we can make it happen. that will start to change our country and structural ways. thank you.
