I wasn't intending to turn this into a thread, but it seems to have happened anyway. It's about the great plague on our lives: the extreme wealth of a tiny number of people. And what to do about it.

I'm looking for a 25% wealth tax/year on families worth more than $200m, dropping to 5% when they're down to $78m.

California is pondering a 1-time 5% tax on families worth us$1.1b. 60% of NY residents (not just NYC) favour free, universal childcare until pre-K, with an explicit tax on the rich to fund it.

So, I want wayyy more, to end the 1%.
