It amazes me that people who can’t distinguish between ‘your’ and ‘you’re’ are allowed to manage people

    the company owners aremulti million dollar assholes, that’s why we behave like this

    Stop the multi millionaires

    Nobody should be worth anything over 10 million. Anything after that should go 100% to taxes.

    With that, governments can actually give out free healthcare, free education, universal basic income and all on a high quality because it will have the funding now that we finally stopped a few from hogging all the world’s resources

      99% agreed, but I’d increase the number a bit. With inflation and rising costs $10 million in net worth isn’t always an obscenity.
      It’s unquestionably wealthy, but still in the realm of attainable by an individual without being a bastard. Owning a single family home and a gas station in the San Francisco region and planning for retirement could put you in that realm.

      I don’t begrudge someone who worked hard having nice things. I don’t even begrudge luck, inheritance, or nepotism getting luxury. It’s when it’s beyond luxury and no one could get it with any amount of work.

      Tie it to the consumer price index or some such.
