    i think the number itself is fairly arbitrary. what we need to evaluate the cost of living and aggressively taxed above the point at which only exorbitantly lavish wants come into consideration.

    i think this would be wildly different depending on externalities and extremely difficult to ensure fairness, while avoiding excessive means testing which can cause a lot of overhead.

    it’d be interesting to hear other’s ideas. that being said it’s a lot easier to say fuck the rich than to determine an enforceable definition of excessive.

      That’s probably a better way to put it. Currently the rich people are in a “no taxes for us” club, so if we could actually stop making further bonuses to them legal and start actually charging them reasonable amounts, that’d be great and a lot of the problem would start solving itself.
