While I’m in favor of increasing taxes on the rich if given the option, it’s always felt like such a bandaid measure. Our society should be structured in a way that doesn’t produce these people in the first place.
I’m aware of this. The problem I have is that it basically means they are subsidizing large segments of our economy, making us more dependent on them. More dependence gives them more leverage, and eventually only continues this back and forth we have now.
I still support it, as I said previously. But it’s never going to solve the root problems, which are executives and corporations as institutions. They need to be supplanted.

Yeah but taxing the hell out of them helps with lowering production of them. The highest bracket tax rates used to be >90%
