OUCH: Dem Senator Ripped By Own Son For Tax Plan — “Why Does He Hate Us/The American Dream So Much?”
Dem Senator and Finance Chair Ron Wyden has been pushing for new tax increases.
But his son isn’t happy with it.
A disagreement over taxes between Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and his son Adam Wyden has become increasingly public in recent weeks as Democrats seek to enact a social spending package that is paid for in part by tax increases on high earners.
Ron Wyden, 72, is a leading proponent of raising taxes on the rich, and he’s been pushing to add to the social spending package his proposal to tax billionaires’ unrealized capital gains annually. Adam Wyden, a 37-year-old, Florida-based hedge fund owner, has criticized his father’s efforts to raise taxes on the rich on social media and in media interviews.
