A cool idea would be to increase taxes on the very wealthy and on non-cooperatively owned businesses and use that largess to fund and tax-incentivize cooperatively owned businesses.
- zozbot234 7y agoIncreasing taxes on the very wealthy would make the problem worse, by making people a lot less willing to invest for long-term projects of all sorts. "The very wealthy" are doing that pretty much by definition - "wealth" is just money that's being kept around as an asset and invested for a return, instead of being spent for final consumption.
