- HeavenBanned 10y agoWe need progressive taxation that goes up to 94% of wealth earned. If we took 94% of Bezo's income, he would still have an island to live on. If we took 94% of Zuckerberg's income, he would still be able to live in a mansion. They just wouldn't be stinking rich. WW2-level taxation is what I'm thinking of - of the FDR type. That's all I have to say. The rest of this thread is glorious and filled with juicy debate.
