    None of that will go to people in poverty, that’s the problem

      I hear you, and it’s tragic that the fight doesn’t end with taxation but with its application and every politician wants to give it to their affluent bribers in some form.

      That said, capital at the level of the owners is an expression of power, power to keep the world rigged, buy governments/regulators, protect monopolies, etc.

      If that money was somehow (im not holding by breath) taxed/confiscated from the world’s immoral owner class, transferred into paper currency and incinerated, it would still be a good day because the power dynamic between them the 10s of thousands of sociopath owner families, and us the billions, would still be measurably improved.
