@eswag “The problem can actually be solved quite neatly and easily, allowing, but subtly forcing, the descendants of the very wealthy to spend their wealth over the long term, without any resort to taxation.”

Yeah, I don’t think so. We should be taxing the absolute shit out of billionaires and ensuring such wealth cannot accrue to begin with. Longer term, we should have universal housing, healthcare, and basic income for all instead of a system that sacrifices our habitat and well being in exchange for profit in the pockets of relative handful.

“Keep everything else the same but force folks to sell houses after 150 years” ain’t gonna cut it in my opinion.
