> The super-rich don't stay rich by just sitting on their money, they invest it. Yes, mostly in the pockets of politicians who make sure to keep them super-rich. This is why wealth inequality is a disaster: it allows the super-rich to control entire countries and keep themselves and their families rich and powerful. Any kind of economic measure that still permits billionaires to exist is not going to address this simple fundamental problem. It's at best lipstick on the pig, not a long term solution to anything.
