Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

“Amount” is spelled with a single ‘m’. You also forgot to mention that a “rich people’s tax” once existed, but was ruled unconstitutional because it violated the principle of equal treatment, and that no legislation since has made an attempt at crafting such a tax that would hold up to the court.

Not that the wealth tax was not ruled unconstitutional by principle. It was ruled unconstitutional because it contained certain loopholes that favored owning houses over owningother assets in the calculation.

I didn’t know that. Thanks.
