@paulg No one is even suggesting banning them making lots of money. Red herring after red herring here... -
@timoreilly Surely that would be the default assumption about an element of plan for fixing economic inequality. -
@paulg@timoreilly You should really try reading the book. -
@timbray I will, believe me. But I suspect this is one of those cases where the reason something is hard to explain is that it's nonsense. -
@paulg Numbers suggest there's room to significantly attack poverty while inflicting only modest pain on us 1%ers. -
@timbray I wouldn't be surprised. But that won't stop some people from being a lot richer than other people. -
@paulg Nobody is seriously proposing ending wealth. Just squeezing the top end a little harder. -
@timbray Tim O'Reilly called this a plan for correcting economic inequality. I took him at his word. - 2 more replies
