Gregory's Server@Strandjunker taxing the rich wouldn't make them not rich, nor raise the minimum wage.
What you want is politicians who will put in fair systems that increase minimum wage and workers rights

Well your talking about wealth not income here and comparing it against income, which is a shitty thing to do anyhow  @Rjdlandscapes @PacificNic @Strandjunker isn’t the delta between wealth in year 1 and wealth in year 13 equivalent to 12 years of income? @dashrb @Rjdlandscapes @Strandjunker Income over the period plus net change in assets minus expenditures. For the ultra rich, essentially, yes. @dashrb @PacificNic @Strandjunker They all own about the same (or less) slice of the companies they started. yes this gives them a fair chunk of financial power but its not income its wealth , I'm fine with a wealth tax but I am not fine when your comparing the two @PacificNic @Rjdlandscapes @Strandjunker think there should be both a progressive income tax and a wealth tax. And an inflation adjusted minimum wage. The pendulum swings, and right now it’s way too far to one side. I hope it swings back before society collapses from the inequality.  @Rjdlandscapes @dashrb @PacificNic @Strandjunker Why not? If the income of their employees reflected the increase of value they produce, those people wouldn't be able to gain such obscene wealth.  @Rjdlandscapes @dashrb @PacificNic @Strandjunker @Rjdlandscapes @Strandjunker so in fact you want the system which is in civilized countries like Poland ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
@Rjdlandscapes @Strandjunker depends on how much you tax them.
