Sadly, you're wrong:

You still get to OWN your stuff and MAKE MONEY privately, you just get to SHARE more the more successful you are... so others get a chance at a better life.
Obama famously said "You didn't build that"... He's right-the social structures/the justice system/the whole societal infrastructure BILLIONAIRES like Musk and Trump PROFIT FROM are built on the backs and willing cooperation of EVERYONE ELSE... Shouldn't everyone else get a SHARE in the wealth? (I'm not sure I fully agree but just sharing this for discussion's sake)
The 90% tax plan is in keeping with Obama's observation
This is the video that got me thinking about such proposals as the first post of this thread
Don't you agree that SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE about INCOME INEQUALITY???
