Do you think you are smarter than the rich? Do you think you can try and tax their wealth and they will just sit there quietly and take it?
I always think of this, especially since the very people who most push ideas like these are ones who're upset that the rich hide behind lawyers and shell companies etc. Like, what makes you think you'll overcome their avoidance tricks if you squeeze even harder?!
Yeah I get so frustrated with them because even if I agree with then, which I don't, they give no thought to the efficacy of their solutions, only how it makes them feel morally. But if that's your mode of thinking it inevitably leads to gulags, because the only reason for failure you can entertain is to blame your enemies. Sadly they sadly don't see it because their brains are small
Oh, reminds me of something in Bitcoin, lets say you dislike what someone else has or is doing, and you're trying to filter out that activity but it doesn't work, LOL
To all the socialists who think that all the problems would be solved if the rich just paid more taxes:
Here's a hint: the rich are smart, but they're not totally sociopaths. They may be willing to accept somewhat higher taxes if they feel like it's going to fund a worthy cause. But when the government is dysfunctional and they see that the streets are unsafe and the public schools are a disaster, they are not going to want their money going to continue to fund a broken system.
Get your house in order first, and maybe people will have a slightly more positive attitude towards your government solutions. Until then, GTFO because you haven't demonstrated the worth of your proposals.
