Comment on The existence of billionaires is a policy failure
stoy@lemmy.zip 1 week agoWith higher progressive taxes, not only do we stop billionaires from possibly existing, but the government gets more resources to spend on spaceflight R&D among other things.

Governments HAVE the resources. They CHOOSE to not spend it on R&D.

But taxing the rich would give them even MORE resources

That they also won’t use on R&D. Or healthcare. Or housing. Or feeding people. Those things aren’t shit for a lack of resources to fund them, they’re shit for a lack of interest in funding them.
