@bignose@fosstodon.org @thomasfuchs @bignose@theblower.au It’a rather funny to think these issues would get solved by taxing rich people.

@bignose @thomasfuchs I wonder how that would be done.
1. Most of their worth is in stocks. If you tax the gains, do you reimburse the losses?
2. They can move to another residency, so unless you do this worldwide, you can’t succeed.
There is a problem with big corporations, big tech, big pharma, definitely yes, but I don’t think taking money from somebody’s pocket helps here. Punishing people for being successful never helped. Regulations on big companies might.
