Would you support increased taxes (or some other form of required redistribution) for the top 1% income earners, globally?

Yes, and strict limits on personal wealth. Jeff Bezos doesn't need to be that goddamn rich with so many Amazon workers struggling mightily. It's disgusting.

I voted 'yes,' but the money just goes to their political flunkies, so wouldn't accomplish much.
Replying to
Yeah too 1% globally isn't that much actual income, top .1% I'd say yes though
Replying to
No. I'd much rather do away with taxes period rather than force anyone else to pay something against their will. If it's wrong on one level, it's equally wrong on others.
Replying to
NO.
First, not taxing the top 1% enough is not the reason why there is so much poverty.
Second, there is no such thing as "redistribution of wealth" as most people understand it, even if it was tried. Redistribution of money is not redistribution of wealth.

First you have to get them to pay the taxes they owe and currently dodge by hiring clever accounts and squirrelling their money in offshore tax havens.
