    I will tell you the only way to keep them in check is raise corporate and high income taxes while if anything lowering the first bracket tax or raising the point where taxes are starting to be collected and make sure any sales taxes are also progressive with brackets so items at food level are not taxed. Maybe like no vat/sales tax on in person purchases below 100 with maybe an extension for online if your disaled. Basically reduce whats hitting the regular folk as much as possible so they can’t do the whole reduce taxes will help you bullshit.

      Tax wealth, not work.

      Our super rich elite is coasting off of their hoarded assets; taxing high income is fine but will also serve to build their moat higher.

      You gotta get the super rich to sell their assets. Tax their wealth.

        Wealth=capital

        Work=labour

        Who gets taxed, tells you something about what the system we’re running is called.
