If a "to-the-man" attack is the best can you can come up with, then it's clear your logic was faulty. Try again.

Fair enough, but wealth taxes aren't the only way to ensure that Warren Buffet doesn't pay a lower percentage than his secretary. The real question is: do you cede the point that extreme income inequality has become a national security threat (not to mention an ethical failure)?

National security threat? No. IMO, inequality is a red herring: if everyone had the resources to live reasonably well & to not be trapped by geography or lack of training/education, it'd be fine if the rich doubled their wealth. It's the quality of life at the bottom, not the gap

Yeah, I don’t buy the fearmongering. For one thing, in countries terrorized by the wealthy elites, I personally wouldn’t expect to see a major party catering desperately to a populist movement built around taxing the wealthy out of existence. Think for literally one minute.

Well, thank god for that! Hurry, you should get going before the rich try to prevent you from leaving this desolate hellscape. No, don’t look back — I’ll hold them off for as long as I can, GO!
