I’m in favor of a wealth tax. But for purposes of discussion, we need to distinguish between *income* & *assets* (wealth). A billlionaire worth $10b has $10b in assets. They don’t get $10b every year. They’ll take income from what the $10bn earns in investments...

The assets are usually not immediately liquid. Could be owning a company, or a lot of property. It could be stock. For investments this is why the rich pay lower income tax rates than we do. Capital gains tax on the $ the 10bn earned that they took 1 yr is less than income tax.

What could we have for 2 times? 3?

Seriously? Maybe if we gave the picture of “what is possible”. I’m wondering about it now.

Yes, give the billionaires even more money to “combat climate change”. That will help.

The pareto distribution will just funnel the money right back to them. And they already pay most of the taxes. As long as you're just complaining you're never going to learn the system and you'll always be in the same position, which is why the rich will remain.

The moment calls for only one thing. Known as the "hazard that strips certainty and authority" and the "most profoundly existentialist element of the Mario canon", disruptive to "the entire logic of this familiar fantasy universe." It's time to fire the Spiny Shells.pic.twitter.com/YPJPEUQe65

Sadly I don’t have that level of trust with the administration of a one time tax like this. Feel like it would be wasted or taken for personal gain instead of helping those in need, taking care of the Earth, or fixing the infrastructure.

Even if we squeeze the rich out of existence the mass of people must either consume less or produce more...I I'd be glad to find myself mistaken but the point I wish to make is that this question among people who are faithful to left ideology can't be genuinely discussed - Orwell
