Abigail Disney will testify at Sen. Elizabeth Warren s hearing next week on the US tax system.
This comes after billionaire Leon Cooperman rejected Warren s invite, calling it disingenuous.
Disney has advocated for a wealth tax and was among a group of 19 ultrawealthy Americans calling for its support.
After billionaire Leon Cooperman rejected Sen. Elizabeth Warren s invitation to testify on her proposed wealth tax, philanthropist Abigail Disney accepted the opportunity to speak about the tax system.
Warren is holding a hearing next week, called Creating Opportunity Through a Fairer Tax System, where she will discuss her wealth tax proposal, which would enact additional taxes on households with net worths of $50 million and above. Warren invited Cooperman one of her most vocal critics to testify, but he rejected the invitation, calling it self-serving and disingenuous.
