佛罗里达州社会主义派国会候选人奥利弗·拉金在接受福克斯新闻主持人肖恩·汉尼蒂的尖锐采访时，多次拒绝透露将对高收入群体加征多少税，同时为自己“将亿万富翁征税征到不复存在”的主张辩护。
拉金曾于2008年为时任参议员、来自伊利诺伊州的民主党人巴拉克·奥巴马做志愿者，并在2016年为来自佛蒙特州的参议员伯尼·桑德斯领导新罕布什尔州总统竞选现场办公室。佛罗里达州选民将于周二投票，在此背景下，拉金与汉尼蒂就其与民主社会主义者美国分部结盟的竞选纲领展开了争执。
当被问及以“各尽所能，按需分配”为基础的经济构想时，拉金回应称：“我认为这是个不错的理念。”

这句格言于1875年由德国政治理论家卡尔·马克思在《哥达纲领批判》中广为流传。
拉金正在佛罗里达州第23国会选区挑战温和派众议员贾里德·莫斯科维茨，该选区在11月的中期选举中被视为共和党重点争夺席位。拉金表示，与意识形态标签相比，他更关心每天与潜在选民见面。
“我以务实的视角参与这场竞选，关注美国人民和南佛罗里达民众的需求，那就是全民医保、全民托儿服务，也就是你在节目中刚刚阐述的那些政策提案，”拉金告诉汉尼蒂。
在介绍拉金之前，汉尼蒂列出了一系列他称这位千禧一代左翼人士支持的政策，包括废除选举人团、自动当日选民登记、摒弃化石燃料、取缔移民海关执法局（ICE）并起诉其执法人员、免费公立高等教育、取消对伊朗和古巴的制裁，以及用这位保守派主持人的话来说，“对以色列怀有狂热的仇恨”。

汉尼蒂要求拉金跳出政策提案范畴，解释他将如何实现每一项政策目标，首先是提高联邦税收。
“这些所谓的‘邪恶富人’每挣一美元，他们能留下多少……？”他问道。
拉金没有给出具体数字，而是赞扬前总统富兰克林·罗斯福、哈里·杜鲁门和德怀特·艾森豪威尔执政期间的最高边际税率极高。
“给我一个数字，”汉尼蒂追问道。

“每一名美国人在向政府缴纳地方、州和联邦税款后，应该能留下多少收入的百分比？”
拉金回应称，这一比例取决于收入水平，但除了“应将亿万富翁征税征到不复存在”之外，没有具体说明任何收入区间。
汉尼蒂反驳称，大多数亿万富翁都是“最聪明的人”，并辩称通过加税拿走最具创造力的美国人的钱是错误的。
拉金回应称，X公司首席执行官埃隆·马斯克——全球首富——获得了数十亿美元的政府补贴，这些补贴帮助他积累了财富，因此亿万富翁应该面临更高的税收，并称这位南非移民收购特斯拉并独享其丰厚收益的行为是“秃鹫”。
汉尼蒂再次施压，要求这位候选人透露其计划的具体细节，包括在社会主义制度下，不同收入水平的美国人应缴纳何种税率：
“你们打算让政府拿走多少？多少？给我们一个数字，”他问道，并以一名年薪10万美元的美国人为例进行提问。
“我希望看到我们的纳税人投资得到回报，”拉金回应道，并未给出具体数字。
“我无意对年收入10万美元的中产阶级美国人调整税率，”他随后补充道，这促使汉尼蒂追问年收入50万美元的人群应适用何种税率。

“给我一个数字，”他坚持道。“民主社会主义者美国分部的人总在谈论公平。对于一个年收入50万美元的人来说，每挣一美元，政府应该拿走多少？回答这个问题。”
“没那么简单，”拉金反驳道。在两人抢话之后，这位候选人表示应该提高社保税的收入上限，但未说明具体金额。
莫斯科维茨和拉金所在的选区——已多次更改编号——在现代史上大部分时间都由民主党人代表。
在过去二十年里，包括该选区当时编号为第22国会选区时，只有上校艾伦·韦斯特一位共和党人代表过该选区，他仅任职了一届。
从1993年该选区成立到乔治·W·布什总统任期早期，该选区一直由共和党众议员尤金·克莱·肖 Jr. 代表。
在社会主义候选人在威斯康星州失利但在密歇根州、宾夕法尼亚州、纽约州和明尼苏达州获胜之后，佛罗里达州民主党人将于周二决定是否追随同样的趋势。

Socialist in Trump country gives Karl Marx vision thumbs-up before ducking key tax question
August 15, 2026 6:00am EDT / Fox News
The DSA-aligned candidate said billionaires should be taxed ‘out of existence’ but declined to specify any figures
By Charles Creitz, Fox News
Sean Hannity and Florida congressional candidate Oliver Larkin debate his policy agenda on ‘Hannity.’
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
Florida socialist congressional candidate Oliver Larkin repeatedly declined to say how much he would raise taxes on high earners while defending his call to tax billionaires “out of existence” during a contentious interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity.
Larkin, who volunteered for then-Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in 2008 and led a New Hampshire presidential campaign field office for Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in 2016, sparred with Hannity over his Democratic Socialists of America-aligned platform as Florida voters prepare to vote Tuesday.
When asked about the idea of an economy based on the promise of “to each American based on their needs from each American based on their ability,” Larkin replied, “I think that’s a fine concept.”

The axiom was popularized in 1875 by German political theorist Karl Marx in his “Critique of the Gotha Programme.”
Larkin, who is challenging moderate Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., in a district considered a prime Republican target in November’s general election, said he was less concerned with ideological labels than with meeting his potential new constituents every day.
“I’m coming at the race from a pragmatic point of view of what the American people and the people of South Florida need, and that is Medicare-for-all, that is universal child care, that is the policy proposals that you just articulated on your show,” Larkin told Hannity.
Before introducing Larkin, Hannity listed a series of policies he said the millennial left-winger supported, including abolishing the Electoral College, automatic same-day voter registration, shunning fossil fuels, abolishing ICE and prosecuting its agents, free public college, an end to sanctions on Iran and Cuba and a “passionate hatred of Israel,” in the conservative host’s words.

Hannity challenged Larkin to go beyond the proposals and explain how he would achieve each of his policy objectives, starting with higher federal taxes
“Out of every dollar these so-called ‘evil rich people’ make, how much should they be able to keep…?” he asked.
Instead of offering a figure, Larkin praised former Presidents Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower for presiding over extremely high top marginal tax rates.
“Give me a number,” Hannity demanded.

“What percentage of every dollar should every American be able to keep after they pay the government, local, state, federal [taxes]?”
Larkin replied that the figure depends on income, but did not specify any income ranges except to say that “billionaires should be taxed out of existence.”
Hannity countered that most billionaires are among the “most brilliant” people and argued that it is wrong to take money from the most creative Americans through higher taxes.
Larkin replied that X CEO Elon Musk — the world’s richest person — has received billions in government subsidies that helped build his wealth, arguing that billionaires should therefore face higher taxes and calling the South African immigrant a “vulture” for buying Tesla and presiding over its largesse himself.
Hannity returned to pressing the candidate for specifics about his plans, including what tax rates Americans at different income levels should pay under a socialist system:
“How much are you willing to let the government take? How much? Give us a number,” he said, asking for an example with an American making $100,000 per annum.
“I want to see a return on our taxpayer investment,” Larkin replied without offering a specific figure.
“I’m not interested in changing the tax rate on middle-class Americans on people making a hundred grand,” he later added, prompting Hannity to ask what tax rate should apply to people making $500,000.

“Give me a number,” he insisted. “The DSA people talk a lot about fairness. What is fair for a guy that makes a half a million dollars a year out of every dollar — how much should the government get? Answer the question.”
“It’s not that simple,” Larkin argued. After crosstalk, the candidate said the cap on income subject to Social Security taxes should be raised, but did not specify an amount.
Moskowitz’ and Larkin’s district — which has changed numbers several times — has been represented by Democrats for most of the modern era.
Over the past two decades, including when it was numbered the 22nd District, Col. Allen West has been the only Republican to represent the district. West served one term.
From its inception in 1993 through the early years of George W. Bush’s presidency, the district was represented by Republican Rep. Eugene Clay Shaw Jr.
After socialist candidates lost in Wisconsin but won in Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York and Minnesota, Florida Democrats will decide Tuesday whether to follow the same trend.
