Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.
John BaileyYou keep chanting this.
And, true as it is, it just keeps getting worse.
What is anyone going to do about it?

sbi@isucceed @rbreich Ad hoc attempt: If you have up to 1k/month, you pay zero income taxes. For everything above that 1k you pay 1%. For everything above 5k, you pay 10%, above 10k 20%, above 100k 50%, above 500k 90%. Above 1m 99%, above 10m 99.9% etc.
