Dan Wentzel 🏳️🌈The only thing Jeff Bezos‘ editorial in the Washington Post convinced me is that we need a steep wealth tax and that the existence of billionaires is a public policy failure.
Catherine is not complacent@danwentzel yeet the rich
Kévin ⏚@CatDragon @danwentzel yeet them into the arms of Poseidon
aswack@danwentzel while I was already convinced of that, this election cycle has been making it painfully apparent.
Darwin WoodkaOh I don't know, billionaires make excellent compost

xs4me2Exactly. It is a perversion of the neoliberal capitalist system and it needs correction.
slick 🏴Capitalism has proven time again how it is incapable of any longterm stability, equality, or lack of coercive participation; works as intended for the rich, and a failure to the masses. It's been tried, reformed, corrected yet continually ends at crisis point. Time for a new system.

HTPC NZ@danwentzel This dr evil doppelganger fled Seattle to Florida to stop paying capital gains tax, so based on that if US does put a wealth tax, his kind will still pay nothing by paying few people handsomly to ensure it is avoided everyway possible. System can't be fixed as long as greed exist, his kind wants to horde while other people and countries happy to facilitate it so they can make a quick buck.
AlexisDyslexic@danwentzel MA has a wealth tax as of 2022, and now we can afford things like free bus fare, free community college, road maintenance, & fress school lunches. Super radical stuff.
Finitum@danwentzel no value added. But private space programs with rockets that land themselves! Cool, tax billionaires away and actually fund NASA beyond the hobby project it was treated as post Apollo programs.
Eric Vitiello@danwentzel Not just a public policy failure, but also a threat to democracy.
Adlangx@danwentzel Fuck.Yes.

Geeden_Of_Arden@danwentzel So much humility from JB!
Denying something that is plainly evident is a double confession.

Ray Greenwell@danwentzel we need to close the loophole whereby they don’t ‘realize’ gains because they don’t sell stock, instead they take out a massive loan with the stock as collateral. We need updated laws that say, no- that’s realizing.
Jeff Atwood@danwentzel We need limitarianism really bad at the moment IMNSHO
System Adminihater@danwentzel Musk will be a trillionaire by 2027 if the DOJ doesn't put him in prison first.
@danwentzel the problem is people have no concept of a billion dollars. I mean millions is a lot but a billion not to mention multiple billions is insane.
