What I find interesting is that everybody immediately suggested fixes to this. I propose that it isn't even a problem. |
If insufficient tax revenues are raised, the infrastructure and the ecosystem of the economy fall apart, and that which the super wealthy depend on collapses, their wealth will also fall apart. There are big reasons for things being a problem. Maybe these elite can go off and start Galt's Gulch, once they make a perpetual motion machine appear, so none of them really have to do any work, just own the capital that does the work.
It would be interesting to see you have a nice long conversation with Chris Hedges, for example:
