a call from the already-rich commentariat to eradicate *future* but not *current* wealth. imagine the incredible gall — a prescription for the establishment of an entrenched, now-systemic class system... because you care about poor people https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1081629613959405569 …

Hadn’t thought of this. Thanks.

@micsolana but I’m not convinced that there is enough wealth to go around to such an extent that it would stop enterprising individuals from doing their thing. i dont think we could change the marginal utility of each dollar such so that it would change choices of great poeple.

With respect: agreed, US needs more/better designed wealth taxes (incl on inheritances) That said: top fed income tax rate is 37% on >$510k/$612k sgl/dual. I don’t see how adding a higher tax tier for >$10mm/yr will “destroy” the future wealthy. They’ll still be plenty wealthy.
