> 1. Should we trust the government to spend the money more wisely than the folks who earned it? Or said another way, how do you combat the almost inevitable corruption you see with large government spending? govt could be corrupt regardless of the spending levels (industry deals, favorable laws, other bribes etc)... maybe corruption and spending are orthogonal concern? > Would I be willing to put in the long hours and sacrifices usually required to work up to a $1m+ salary if it’s taxed at a 90% rate? i dunno, but there are lots of working poor that work insane hours (and multiple jobs) too who wouldn't get a much more even if tax was set to zero.... probably for them, a more fair distribution (a.k.a whatever the opposite of trickle-down would be) might be more favorable choice...?
