Tax the rich? Have we tried that, yet?
- ThrowawayR2 2y agoIt would take taxing the entire top 20% to make any headway and once people on HN figure that out, they'll tar and feather anyone who says "tax the rich" within earshot. It's probably necessary but it's never going to fly.
- krapp 2y agoWhy on earth would we try a silly thing like that? No, clearly we need to tax the poor even harder, so they can afford fewer calories and not be able to work themselves up so much. And if that doesn't work, drones.
