One-time taxes are dumb. The organizers of this tax should have the confidence of their arguments to make them permanent, or they shouldn't do it at all. | ||

I guess that by the time a tax had been applied once, the targets would have worked out a way to avoid it anyway. Apparently, in old Athens, not only were taxes one off, but they were explicitly targeted too, like "It's about time the Alcmaeonids pay for a festival again." | ||

There's so much FUD as is I think pushing for a permanent version wouldn't be a good starting point. It's not about confidence, it's pragmatic | ||

So we should stop the one-time tax paid low interest loans to companies too? Or should billionaires pay their fair share. | ||
