even less so,

"According to Young, though, the ultra-wealthy traditionally haven't migrated in droves following such tax hikes. Only %2.4 of U.S.-based millionaires move across state lines each year, roughly %15 of whom apparently do so for tax reasons. 'So it's like a small l fraction of a small fraction,' Young said.

Under current economic conditions, economic wealth is necessary for the functioning of the economy

is it required? to an extent, yes. but do we need 60% of everything to be owned by 10% of the population?

As for the Capital flight, that is a myth, even the implementation of straight wealth taxes don't see great multimillionaire migrations, because taxation isn't a very strong factor, in fact a golf course or tow is a stronger pull, example Scotland vs Ireland when the UK was still part of the EU saw more ultra wealthy live in Scotland, a region with a higher tax rate, than Ireland, primarily for golf courses.

honestly, do you really think that people posting on 4chan have stable familial situations? most people there don't know interacting with people in any other fashion because that's what they get treated like at home.

didn't we try the whole elect a president that would bring the change, like twice now?

In fact, looking towards history, the only time we really had change for the better is when the working poor threatened the super rich
