Would a wealth tax fix the wealth inequality problem?
Billionaires and corporations would stop hoarding wealth and actually use it in a meaningful capacity and they would also focus less on the bottom line meaning less layoffs just so the fat cat can get a bloated unearned bonus for their 5th yacht.
Im not seeing any downsides to it.

no they should focus on closing loopholes in income and estate taxes first. they rich and corpos will find a way to avoid or just move capital out of the country, its a balancing act

I knew you were a disingenuous kike. Thanks for proving it. The point was as soon as taxes go up the surplus is immediately syphoned away by isreal and their American interests groups... Fuck you commie faggot

You know the 1950s, that era older boomer so fondly romanticize as the absolute peak of American prosperity. But here’s a question for you: what was the top tax rate for the highest earners during that decade? If you’re picturing anything close to modern rates, you’d be wrong. It sat at a staggering 91 percent on incomes over roughly 200k

No, that just kicks the can down the road.

Wealth tax are easy to circumvent these days(for example: be a CEO but only get your shares/payout once you leave, on paper you'd have nothing even though you could live on loans forever). I think it would be better to give heavy tax incentives to hire people + give them a good pay. Might create more 'adult daycare' type of jobs but I think it's the better alternative, especially with AI threatening more and more jobs.

They don't hoard wealth. Most billionaires are cash poor relatively speaking. Most of their "wealth" is company valuation which is inflated by stock price and often has no relation to the actual value of what they are producing, but rather a predicted value in the future. This wealth is very difficult to steal from them. Probably better off just printing more money to keep the bread and ciruses going, it's all fake and gay anyway.

I don't think you can eliminate billionaires. Even China has them. You're just going to have to stop being upset about them.

So what you're saying is capitalism is to blame and should be abolished as a moral duty
