  Its a compromise. You can have 999 mil as long as you invest back into society thereafter…

      Yeah but then they find ways to slurp up the tax money through bailouts and BS government contracts.

        Yes, but we are talking tax policy, not how to solve human greed and corruption.

    Getting to direct where every dollar goes above a billion is a huge amount of power. A single person deciding how to spend millions or billions of dollars to do what they deem to be improving society? They may do some good things, but a democratic process would probably do better overall.

  While I agree, then you are giving the government massive power to decide how much you shouldn’t make.

  And what happens with all the “tax” money? Straight into politician pockets.

    I’m not bothered about the specifics, its the principal.

    The money could all goto charity for all I care. Point is, no person on this planet should have that much wealth at the expense of others.

      I agree.

      But its still dangerous to give government that power. however, if you can actually elect the politicians, its fine. But we all know its rigged bullshit and votes dont actually matter anymore, if they ever did.

        It’s gotta be less dangerous than letting individuals have it. I mean, look around.
