SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Top 10 percent pay almost the entire tax bill. 80 percent of the taxes. Bottom 50 percent pay next to 0. That's redistribution. It's that simple -- really don't need. It's not that complicated. The thing is is they now want a wealth tax, a confiscation of wealth.

You know, they want a second, a third, a fourth, bite at the apple. You risk your money, you invest it, then you're going to get hit with a capital gains tax. That's money you already paid taxes on.

You make money, you're successful, you know, and I guess you get to write it off if you lose, but all of this taken in into context is we have redistribution, but it's not even that. They want it all.

And that's why you see this accelerated mass migration out of high tax states and states with burdensome regulation into these you know, states like Florida and Texas and Tennessee. Tennessee, Florida have no income tax at all.
