Again, as I said, america has its problems. They need to solved. Like university bullshit for example.
Wealth redistribution never worked. Tax the rich too much and the rich escape to another country. The laws don't really apply to the rich.
We're not ready for universal basic income yet. We need way more automation for that to happen.
If you, or I, were rich, we wouldn't want to just give it all out anyway.
If you want rich to share, you need to give them a reason to.
"If you donate us the money we'll make new roads and make the city better, we'll make the air better in the city, your children will live in a better world" etc. and shit of this sort. You will NEVER achieve anything meaningful with force in this matter except civil unrest and war. Example: South Africa right now.
Imagine you have 1 billion right now and your (corrupt)country wants 700 million off it for themselves (70%). I'd run like hell. On the other hand, if they never forced me, but gave ways of. This is part of the reason why past tax heavens are so fucking rich right now, Like Switzerland or micro-nations such as Monaco or Liechtenstein. They took a small percent from the rich, but the rich spent the money in the country, and all that money got back to the people. Stop demanding gibs. Do things to get that money, you lazy motherfucker. I agree that we have problem with wage inequalities but just rising taxes is a very, very bad way to do it.
