    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).
