Sen. Warren: I’d Rather Tax the Rich than Use a Gas Tax for Financing New Spending

‘I want to get us there, but I want to do it the other way’

RUSH EXCERPT:

WARREN: "So, you know, I'll tell you what worries about doing this through gas tax. I'm open to the conversation, but what worries me is it falls hardest on working people. When I talk about raising taxes, what I really want to see is I want to see an ultra millionaire's tax. I want to see taxes on the top, and then let's use that to help subsidize what it is that we really want to see -- cleaner vehicles. That's the direction I'd much rather see us go. I want to get us there, but I want to do it the other way."
