idk i reckon 80% or something would probably end better: if the goal is to get maximum wealth for the people, chasing that last 20% will probably cause people to “donate” that 80% because they’re just that damn selfish: want to be the richest? well that’ll be $50bn/y in taxes pls, okay now FIGHT (literally if you want. here, have some knives… inheritance tax will take care of the rest)
Well if you work to lift up the median wealth, their wealth can increase too.
very true!
