[Serious] The revolution was successful! The old government is gone. You get to help write the new Constitution. What do you put into it?

All income over $10m per year is taxed at 100%. Foreign and domestic put together.

I get where you are going but it would make more sense to be based on a percentage above a living wage or something like that. In 100 years 10 million will be worth a lot less than today.

Maybe start it at 10m and index link it to the average wage thereafter. Make it in their own interests to boost everyone’s wages.

Make sure it's the median wage rather than the mean wage, otherwise they can just hugely increase wages for a few outliers.

That would get rid of inflation really fast as billionaires try to figure out how to deflate the currency.
