"It is a concentration camp."
- Israel’s former prime minister Ehud Olmert

What if - bear with me on this - instead of talking about taxing wealth or income, we framed it as taxing *luck*?

By disallowing all "political" discussion, you are allowing genuinely terrible and bigoted people to blend into your community and drive out the people who aren't.
