In all practical terms there is a shortage of money(and resources), since then entities you mention are powerful enough to stop the extra taxation.

- bastawhiz 2y agoBy that logic the powers that be can arbitrarily decrease the amount of money for social or science programs at any time at their whim. Why do any science when you could be feeding the starving, and money could run out at any second? That's ridiculous, though. But it's the logical extreme of the defeatist argument that there's no way to get more money for these things.
- Epa095 2y agoSo you think we can always just tax them more, and they would accept that? That's equally absurd. It's obvious that we can tax them a bit, but if we tax them too much they use their power to stop it. That power manifests in many ways. It can be to give money to right wing politicians, or it can be to move to lower-tax regimes. But anyway it's clear that there is not an unlimited pot of rich/corporate tax money out there ready for the picking without resistance.
