They don't talk about the 90% top tax rate either.
"Nobody paid that. They just reinvested in their company [and their employees and reputation] instead."
No shit. Sounds great. Let's do that.
The world is honestly too far into the crumbles for it to work like that anymore, they would just use circuitous accounting to funnel it into bunkers, militarized yachts, private armies, and extra planetary fever dreams.
Can't just give up though. It's one step towards making things better.
We don't have to solve it all at once.
Oh I don't propose surrender friend.
A flat unmitigated tax rate on the rich.
Or a flat unmitigated axe rate on the rich.
