Summary
Bernie Sanders is launching a radical AI tax plan that would impose a 50% levy on stock of big AI firms once they hit $200 million in annual AI revenue, funneling the proceeds into a $7 trillion sovereign wealth fund to directly benefit Americans through payments, healthcare, and education. This marks the first legislative push for public ownership of AI giants, with a seven-member commission to oversee investments and block harmful decisions. Sanders frames it as a battle against oligarchy, aiming to ensure AI’s massive profits don’t just enrich billionaires but uplift everyday workers.
