So at what point do we just decide "Fuck companies, fuck revenue, fuck anybody who has, say, a million bucks to their name in cash and assets. No more money making unless you do it without screwing people. If you can't, you fail. Good day. "
Tax the every living fuck out of the rich, destroy data even being collectable or sellable at all in any form.
Boom, 100,000% better world to live in immediately.
Obviously pipe dream, but I think this is really the mindset to take if humans are gonna be around and have anything resembling happy lives in say, 100 years.
Problem with taxing the rich is that they just go to other countries with their money. Not saying we shouldnt, just that its not simple.
Well then there 's a new tax for changing citizenship for people with multiple huge bank accounts. I dunno, the solution gonna be complicated whatever it is. Maybe the one thing every country can agree on, making taxes just unbearable for them wherever they are.
And theres the flaw, something every country can agree on. Thats not happening unfortunately.
Even if we could force all countries to do a certain thing, theres varying levels of corruptions everywhere that would prevent something like that in the first place.
The closest we've come so far is probably oil sanctions on russia.
@quackers@wheeldawg It becomes a race to the bottom then. Keep driving ultra rich tax rates down and you end at zero, or worse.
Yep, i dont know the solution, but thats the reasoning behind it anyway
