people say “you can’t tax the rich, they’ll just leave” like that’s not the best possible outcome

@Daojoan I mean... depending how you look at it, one must be rich in order to have the resources necessary to run a company. By extension, all "rich leaving" would stop companies from existing, hence people have nowhere to work, hence they can't pay for food, etc...

Am I wrong?

@DenisAlexClopo @Daojoan without rich people hoarding all the resources, we would have plenty to eat
It's not like they're the ones farming

Ok, say for example a factory; legally speaking, SOMEONE needs to own the ground on which the factory exists, + the building, + the machinery, devices, & tools.

That in itself is seen as "hoarding" but unless SOMEONE owns all of these and brings them together to work towards some purpose, the manufacturing process either doesn't happen, or takes place at a much smaller, pricier scale, in turn making the product pricier.

@DenisAlexClopo @Daojoan no one HAS to own the land. It could be public. It could be owned by the state. It could be owned by the workers. Rich people contribute literally nothing to the equation except the suffering and the propaganda they get you to spread
