part of the point is that these "super rich" that everyone likes to point fingers at are such statistical outliers that formulating economic policy around them is ridiculous. In essence you wind up with special rules for .01% of the population. How egalitarian is that?
- AlisdairO 18y agoWhy so ridiculous? Those .01% often have a vastly disproportionate impact on the rest of the society, so it only makes sense to have special rules for them.
- nazgulnarsil 18y agothe point is that it's hypocritical from the egalitarian soapbox that the people stand on.
- AlisdairO 18y agoNot really. The .01% generally have vastly greater power and effective rights within society - ensuring that that doesn't go overboard isn't so crazy.
