If you could push a button once an hour that gave $1,000 to you and $99,000 to the government you are saying you'd feel like you're being punished for pushing it?
Let's not pretend that billionares are working 1.44 million hours a week to earn 18000 times what the janitor earns working two jobs in an 80 hour week. The quality of a billionaires 'work' is different than 'real work' so what you feel intuitevely about work may not be a great touchstone for how billionaires should be taxed.
- vasco 4y agoAnyone can push a button, not everyone can create a billion dollar company.
- kortilla 4y agoThere is no button. That framing is dumb because it implies no risk and no alternative locations where capital can be applied with the same risk and lower taxation.
- selcuka 4y ago> alternative locations where capital can be applied with the same risk and lower taxation. They are already doing that, so what would be the difference?
