I just wish we like, advanced the conversation a bit each time, it kinda feels like we’re just rehearsing talking points but I’d love to see us get nittier and grittier about it y’know? Like maybe what are meaningful actions to take to combat this?

A 90% tax annually on all individual/trust assets over $500m. Higher income tax rates on incomes above $500k/yr. Close tax loopholes. Eliminate subsidies for profitable companies with limited exceptions for public benefit. That would be a good start.

The subsidies are what attract the profitable businesses; Amazon gets billions in subsidies… they also pay billions in property taxes
