Wealth can’t be “created” it’s finite.
The things we say represent wealth are infinite, that’s how inflation is a thing.
So the extra 33 trillion dollars the 1% have hoarded over the last ten years wasn’t pulled out of a hat, it’s money that used to circulate thru the economy in wages and purchases. It’s what made our capitalist society work.
Eventually the system will fail if for no other reason than no one can afford to buy anything or go anywhere. We’re getting close to that, that’s why Epstein was emailing billionaires about the best way for the majority of the world population to die off.
Once they bleed us dry, they have no use for us.
But we’ve never had a use for them.
I’m hungry. When do we eat?
Instead of trying to tax their assets, why don’t we just get rid of billionaires? That money would go back into the pockets of the working class where it belongs, Problem solved.
You can tax all sorts of things that effectively eliminates that class. Capital gains, assets, income, etc. Choose a number and tax the shit out of anything above it. I don’t even think the government needs that much money - but I really don’t want that class to exist anymore. Let’s make it happen.
They could be taxed at 100% and they would still exist since they own the means of everyones production. All money flows up at a constant rate. but they are only taxed yearly. As long as we have a government owned by the Epstein class they will carve out loopholes for them to avoid taxation.
I dislike civil asset forfeiture as it’s generally used, but there’s nothing really stopping us from using the government to just nationalize those companies/means of production. Obviously we’ll have to get the Epstein class out of government first, but I truly believe this should be a part of the Epstein class’s punishment for their part in everything (in addition to more traditional punishments like prison, etc).
