If it's working out that well for me that I'm thousands, millions of times richer than them (since there's a LOT of them and they all want to buy my things) I'm still getting a lot more from them than they're getting from me. Let 'em have some of it back, I will still be obscenely wealthy off exploiting their inability to produce on their own.
Still seems like you're not quite grasping how this works.
- sokoloff 5y agoYou’re right; I’m not quite seeing how your proposal works mathematically. Perhaps you could illustrate it with a simple but closed-loop mathematical model to help drive your point home?
- kelnos 5y agoIt is completely possible to tax the rich enough to fund social programs, but allow the rich to live exactly the same life they'd otherwise live. They'll just have less money to pass on to their descendants, which is fine by me. Multi-generational wealth transfer is inequitable and anti-progress. I'm not going to dig up concrete numbers at this point, but it's not difficult to take a look at what the top wealth-holders and income-earners have, and what the people at the bottom need, and reconcile the two.
