«Breaking News» Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar calls for tax on the wealthy of 'up to 90 per cent'

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar has called for an income tax of up to 90 per cent on America's multimillionaires.

Speaking to '60 Minutes', Omar argued that tax rates of previous years had risen to the 90 per cent mark for top earners as she doubled down on fellow freshman congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's calls for a 70 per cent rate.

'There are a few things that we can do,' Rep. Omar said. 

'One of them, is that we can increase the taxes that people are paying who are the extremely wealthy in our communities. So, 70 percent, 80 percent, we've had it as high as 90 percent. So, that's a place we can start.'  

Minnesota Democrat Ilhan Omar said in an interview with '60 Minutes' taxes should be as high as 90 per cent for America's millionaires

Her calls for tax reform echoed the sentiment of fellow freshman congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (left), pictured with Omar earlier this month

'The one percent must pay their fair share,' she continued. 

Omar claimed her radical tax plan would act as a catalyst for programs like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal being proposed by Ocasio-Cortez. 

Ocasio-Cortez called for zero carbon emissions within 12 years, in an interview with '60 Minutes' on her first day as a member of Congress.

Omar also said she wants to slash the national defense budget in order to pay for the sweeping policy changes. 

'I'm also one that really looks at the defense budget that we have, Rep. Omar said. 

'That has increased nearly 50% since 9/11. And so, most of the money that we have in there is much more than with we spend on education, on healthcare.' 

Omar proposed the radical tax reforms as a way of funding other policy initiatives such as edicare for All and the Green New Deal

In 1960, before the Kennedy tax cuts, the top rate was 91 per cent for those earning more than $200,000. According to the Tax Policy Center, the top 1 per cent earned 9 per cent of all income at that time, compared to 20 per cent in 2008. 

'You look at our tax rates back in the '60s and when you have a progressive tax rate system your tax rate, you know, let's say, from zero to $75,000 may be ten percent or 15 per cent,' she said, in a clip that aired on CBS 'This Morning.' 

'But once you get to, like, the tippy tops – on your 10 millionth dollar – sometimes you see tax rates as high as 60 or 70 percent,' she said.

'That doesn't mean all $10 million are taxed at an extremely high rate, but it means that as you climb up this ladder you should be contributing more.' 

After Ocasio-Cortez proposed the tax increase earlier this month, President Trump said the US would become like Venezuela under her plans

I think that it only has ever been radicals that have changed this country. Abraham Lincoln made the radical decision to sign the Emancipation Proclamation.

'Franklin Delano Roosevelt made the radical decision to embark on establishing programs like Social Security. That is radical,' she said. 

President Trump took a swipe at Cortez immediately after she proposed the tax hike, saying a 70 per cent rate would bring the turmoil of Venezuela to the US.  

"We’re looking at Venezuela, it’s a very sad situation," Trump told reporters.

"That was the richest state in all of that area, that's a big beautiful area, and by far the richest - and now it's one of the poorest places in the world. That's what socialism gets you, when they want to raise your taxes to 70 percent."

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
