The idea of setting up a wealth tax to target the richest Americans has created a lot of debate in the United States. President Donald Trump calls it socialism. But Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders have expressed support for the idea. Both senators are seeking the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination. And many Americans seem to agree with calls for a wealth tax. A new survey found that nearly two-thirds of those questioned said the very rich should pay more. Researchers questioned over 4,400 people. Nearly 64 percent agreed with the statement that “the very rich should contribute an extra share of their total wealth each year to support public programs.” Support for the idea among people who identified themselves as Democrats was strong, at 77 percent. A majority of those allied with Trump’s Republican Party, 53 percent, also agreed with the idea.
