I’ve been to Cuba. It’s exactly what you’d expect from the wonders of communism. Extreme poverty everywhere. The leaders are wealthy and everyone else is poor.

    Wealth is irrelevant since we don’t tax wealth.

    That’s why it’s relevant, because it’s not taxed.

      Nor should it be. Sweden doesn’t tax wealth.

      If Bezos went BK, Do you think we should give a refund when his stock goes down in value? Or should be continue to tax it when it’s converted to income like we have always done.

        Wealth is always revelant. If the rich hoarding all the wealth, then the rest of us starve/become homeless/lose our possessions/etc.

        Stocks should exist in the first place. They only serve to distribute wealth to the rich, and to those who spend their lives making speculative investments (ie producing nothing of value, and siphoning wealth from the economy).
