With Democrats suddenly eyeing a “wealth tax” to fund their spending dreams, Ira Stoll objects at The New York Sun: “The constitutional challenges . . . are considerable.” The group of 600 or so billionaires Dems would target “is small enough that it could be subject to the Constitution’s prohibition, in Article I, against a bill of attainder.” And: “The 16th Amendment that gave Congress the power to tax income applies to income taxes, not wealth taxes.” Plus: “A wealth tax could also violate the Fifth Amendment takings clause, the 14th Amendment’s due process and equal protection clauses and the Article I prohibition against ex post facto law.” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says it won’t be a wealth tax, but Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced, “We will probably have a wealth tax.”
