      Mason  🏃‍♂️ ✂️ Retweeted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

      The most popular conspiracy theory in the US today is that American wealth is the result of a steady cabalistic transfer of extant wealth from the poor and middle class to "like 10 people" at the "tippy top." It's provably false but will define the next several election cycleshttps://twitter.com/AOC/status/1127270688925134849 …

      When we say “tax the rich,” we mean nesting-doll yacht rich. For-profit prison rich. Betsy DeVos, student-loan-shark rich. Trick-the-country-into-war rich. Subsidizing-workforce-w-food-stamps rich. Because THAT kind of rich is simply not good for society, & it’s like 10 people.

      Take a look at what AOC is pointing out: for-profit prisons, student loans, "tricking the country into war," abusing food stamp programs. Notice a theme? Prisons are a product for governments. Rich people do not declare wars or issue food stamps. Student loans are backed by whom?

      The trap I *don't* want to fall into is claiming that all is well. Wages have stagnated while healthcare and higher ed pricing skyrocketed, and both systems are regulatory fortresses. Regulatory capture via licensure and accreditation is locking in profit for the current players

      The healthcare/education monster is unavoidably a private interest + government collaboration. Moreover, the collaboration has grown so complex and labyrinthian that it's unclear how to attack it. And it's moot anyway, unless it sounds better than "boo yachts, free college!"

      Here's what worries me: whether via a punitive income tax bracket or a wealth tax, you're hitting a group that contains some game-players and many more value-creators. If you don't first solve the regulatory capture issue, you funnel the gains straight back to the game-players.

      If we bet on a policy as aggressive as Warren's wealth tax, it'd become nearly impossible for ultra-successful entrepreneurs to maintain controlling stakes in their own companies over 1-2 decades. It should not be controversial to say this would be disastrous for the US economy.

      I think this IS controversial. I would counter that entrepreneurs are rarely effective over many decades, and children inheriting are nearly always incompetent. You could tax quite hard without changing the incentives in the system if you were careful?

      Oh, FFS. It doesn't matter whether you think entrepreneurs are incompetent to run their companies for more than 10 years or so if they say, "fuck you, I'm not starting a company somewhere I don't get to keep it." It's like people have forgotten that airplanes exist or something

          It is truly a testament to American exceptionalism that we believe we can actually institutionalize the concept that founders can't be trusted with their own ideas and expect them to stick around for longer than a single hot minute

          If indeed incompetent heirs lose their wealth to the general economy, then you get redistribution anyway. The wealth will then concentrate w/in the control of the capable capitalists/founders and they will build up new industry that generates products, jobs, and tax revenue.

          Surely it's an empirical question- how much reward does someone need to expect to take a specific risk? Lots of startups in Sweden etc where they're taxed all to Hell and back
