My point was that it wouldn’t be collected from “fellow citizens” but, as you say, a few rich entities such as yourself.

- steve_taylor 7y agoCalling fellow citizens “rich entities” doesn’t make it more palatable.
- CuriousSkeptic 7y agoThe original point was that there’s a difference between a rich entity and fellow citizens. I took it to imply the people around most people who would benefit, and support such a scheme. A large majority of citizens don’t own property, most have debt. And I would argue, mostly due to legislative capture from the few people who do own property. So when I think of the word “fellow citizens” attribute the word to how people in the first group relate to each other. The latter group would be fellow plutocrats.
