Nope, Massechucets set a State only wealth tax, that only taxes income over a mllion and th wealthy said they'd leave.

Its produced far more revenue for "kids lunches" than expected, and no one's left.

In fact more rich people moved in.

I heard the "always too low" estimate for next year's revenue is over 3 Billion dollars.

For a small state, that's a very useful, services funding, amount of fair revenue.

Yes I think so.

Remove ultra richism. End billionairism. Like "protect against aneurysms" - financial as well as medical.

Tax fairly.

Robustly.

The longest economic boom in history was created by FDR and continued by Truman and Eisenhower. Defeated the Nazis, built the interstate, colleges, homes for soldiers and retired the WWII debt.

Economists called the robust tax period "The Golden Age of Capitalism" -- not even ironically.

Probably not. Taxes should decrease on workers. And become fair and sane on over a billion holdings of wealth.

Read Piketty who says the only path to self government, and not economic collapse, is robust wealth taxes, deep taxes on billionaires.

Biden proposed a 25% tax on billionaires. It could be larger. Biden proposed a tax treaty on multinational and transnational corps, so no corp could use leaving as a threat against fair taxes

The universal lesson of the billionaires oil war. Iran war is about billionaires, not nations, this is the Aramco War.

Nations that have moved to wind and sun are unharmed.

Nations that are wise are installing solar like tanks and wind like ships.

@Photo55 this is our democracies, our Economic Growth that serves plutocracy. It’s disgusting, corrupt, bankrupt, immoral, it’s stripping our global children off a positive future.
