It takes a long time to construct those things though right - you can take a bucket to the beach today.
Even if its the tiniest fraction of what they have, if it can fund campaigns and programmes that work toward a more just society, its helpful, right? Obviously it’s more important that we build those things, but while we’re building them if we can get a bucketful its better than nothing

How is a wealth tax just moving water? What would you say is more effective? A wealth tax isn’t just about recapturing some of the wealth back from the wealthy, arguably that isn’t even the most important aspect of it, but rather having the mechanisms in place to map out and track wealth. Having that in place would massively benefit us to understand the velocity of wealth and where exactly it is being accumulated so that we can more effectively act to remedy massive inequalities.
