Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) introduced legislation aimed at taxing the rich on Thursday, despite its slim chance of passing in the House. The progressive policy signal comes as more liberal possible challengers await an opportunity to challenge the more centrist, pro-Israel incumbent.

The congressman’s wealthy background contrasts with the legislation. Goldman is one of the wealthiest members of Congress and is an heir to the Levi Strauss & Co. fortune.
