minus-square@JimmyMcGilllink16•1 year agoI fail to see the problem with your statement. 50% when you are Uber rich isn’t even that much. In plenty of countries you have that at a much lower level of income. Perfectly doable and fine
minus-square@solsticelink-6•1 year agoSo crank it up to 60, 70, or 99%! You don’t need a wealth tax to do that.
