The Real Litmus Test for Democratic Presidential Candidates Supporting a wealth tax.

The underlying thing making democracy impossible is the vast fortunes of the extremely rich and any Democrat unwilling to support wealth taxes is not interested in addressing America’s biggest problem.

Doug Burgum, the Regime Toady of Our Time - The American Prospect Dashing the hopes of establishment Democrats, Trump’s interior secretary and ‘energy czar’ has adopted his boss’s excesses as his own.
