dodnest··on Modeling a Wealth Tax
Except that you can provide evidence for why the wealthy minority is too powerful whereas jews are just attacked for... being jewish. You know, the nazis for example were a minority, that doesn't mean attacking them was bad... populism isn't inherently bad...

This piece is barely a page long. I've been so disappointed with Paul's work recently, he's just been getting lazier and lazier with his essays and I think his political worries and biases are starting to show.

It's more important to look at why the rich might be a problem than why their money might be useful to us. I know a lot of non-billionaires spend their lives defending them, but there is a case to be made for why their industries and disproportionate social power have been hurting society and a wealth tax is a small way of balancing out wealth inequality which, yes, is a bad thing, and you can do a thorough read of wikipedia if you don't think it is a bad thing.

45% of wealth OVER 50 million. How do you not see the difference? The idea is that you wont discourage anyone from doing anything because they're already a multi millionaire. Who is going to be bitter about being a multi millionaire?
