Here's a list of $20.35 trillion of Elizabeth Warren tax hikes

Wealth taxes: $3.75 trillion.

Warren has spent much of her campaign campaigning on a surtax on those with over $50 million in wealth. As part of her healthcare proposal, she wants to charge billionaires an extra 6%.

Investment tax: $2 trillion.

This would make the top 1% of households pay a tax on investment gains each year, regardless of whether they actually realized those gains by selling those investments for a profit.
