100% on wealth over a billion.
- wincy 2y agoThis is an evil sentiment and would destroy the modern world.
- yladiz 2y agoDestroy in what way?
- roughly 2y agoIn the modern world, Elon Musk bought his way into controlling the federal government, Larry Ellison is proposing an autocomplete panopticon, Mark Zuckerberg is building a survival bunker on Hawaii, and the leading cause of bankruptcy for everyone else is medical debt.
- Kapura 2y agowhat, the modern world in which thousands are allowed to starve while tax dollars are spent on weapons used to commit genocides abroad? the world in which everybody in america needs to own a car because it's not profitable enough to build modern rapid transit systems? oh no, please don't destroy that, it would be terrible
- skyyler 2y agoYou'll never make more than a billion dollars, wincy.
- esseph 2y agoThen maybe it needs to die.
- daveguy 2y agoFine by me, a billion is an obscene amount of wealth. I think a smaller percentage is more likely to be passed. Maybe 1% over 100 million 10% over a billion. Too many fools think they might be billionaires someday while the billionaires keep siphoning off wealth. Speedrunning it now that we have the oligarchs in charge in the US.
- yladiz 2y agoImportantly, not on income, but on wealth in general. It removes the ability for extremely wealthy people to get around paying much tax with things like capital gains.
- dowager_dan99 2y agoI will never be a billionaire, but don't want to live in a world with this sentiment.
- yoyohello13 2y agoThe only real alternative to tax like this is to somehow decouple money from power. I have no idea how to do this. As it is now, the ultra rich can just steamroll everyone else to get their way.
