Work Reform

But they worked so haaaaaard exploiting the labor of thousands of other humans to enrich themselves specifically!

It would be so unfair to punish the success the global owner class created all by themselves that had nothing to do with access to their society's commons like functioning utilities and roads, legal mechanisms for business disputes, and publically educated, pre-literate labor pools to draw and directly profit from but should never have to fund commensurate with the immoral levels of wealth it most certainly didn't facilitate them acquiring!

Wouldn't a just, compassionate society do the only fair thing and just let the worst off human beings and citizens of our respective societies die in the streets horribly of exposure and law enforcement brutality for the crime of not producing value well enough for our beloved job creators?

If we switched to eating billionaires instead of eating beef for one day that would solve world hunger indefinitely, food for thought

Cool. How about 80 to 90%?

We’ll be taxing billionaires heavily in the US next year if Biden wins in the fall.

If there's one thing I've learned observing bureaucracy in action is that trickle down corruption is very much a thing and whatever theoretical sum is achieved, the end sum reaching where it needs to go is quite often less than half of the initial funds.

When it comes to money, it's dirty all the way down, not just the top.

The government would just put that money into defense spending.

None of that will go to people in poverty, that's the problem

Good luck with it. You may need to use shotguns. The rich bastards in power will never agree to party with any money that they aren't literally forced to.

The first article linked in this article is the original, and better.

eh they will just open more charities and funnel their wealth there and still use their money to push agendas

And then some tax haven country will offer a tiny tax of 0.01% on a super specific kind of "investment", just to ensure its local lawyers and accountants stay employed by offering "investment consultancy" services to the rich.

Tax on the wealthy sounds good but the money would never trickle down to the people who need it. It'll find it's way to the coffers of people in power and even back to the same pockets from which it came from. We'd have to establish a completely open system showing what goes in and where it goes to and proper accountability. No contractor waste. This system is unheard of and thus wouldn't happen
