sort of politics related, taxation
why exactly isn't there a tax on stagnant wealth
like yeah we need to increase income taxes on high-income brackets but on top of that why don't we have a tax on accrued wealth that you aren't actually doing anything useful with
seems like a straightforward way to *start* wealth redistribution--but only to start it. more extreme measures will also need to be taken probably
re: sort of politics related, taxation
it really would only need to be on the extremely wealthy. a millionaire might owe a few dozen thousand dollars per year or something, and a billionaire might owe a few dozen million per year
then you use that to fund ubi (of course also instating rent control and related things, since ubi without that will just result in $3000/mo rent or something and leave us back where we started)
