Switzerland? "effectively deal with any and all complaints common folks have against the rich"? That's laughable. Switzerland is a known tax haven for the wealthy through legit and non-legit means. Has been for centuries.
A majority of the population thinks wealth inequality in Switzerland is too high

I'd say the way the rich in Switzerland have effectively managed it, is to keep their mouth shut. There are plenty of very wealthy people who never show up on the Forbes list because their money isn't new and it isn't public.
- mlrtime 3y ago> There are plenty of very wealthy people who never show up on the Forbes list because their money isn't new and it isn't public. This is a very important fact that is lost on most people. When people hate on Bezos, Gates and Musk for their wealth, it's because it is all based on stock wealth that is transparent. They don't have this cash sitting in a bank. However, there are undoubtably people with much more money than these 3 with assets so hidden governments can barely keep tabs on their actual wealth. So we just settle on easy targets.
