> Sure but your demands from extraction don't come from "the economy" they come from real people.

Elon was bitching about paying 0.25% tax on twitter the other day ($500M/yr on $200B/yr) and here I am paying well north of 25%. I could advocate multiplying his taxes by 100 and still be advocating for comparatively regressive taxation. I don't think you are honestly engaging with how fucked this has gotten.

Please stop saying things like " I don't think you are honestly engaging with how fucked this has gotten.". This is just a dumb waste of time. When someone disagrees with you, it doesn't mean they are not "honestly engaging with...", it just means they disagree with you. Whenever you or someone else writes something like that, it then means you are not honestly engaging with the person you are replying to or the topic at hand. Every accusation is a confession.

I don't disagree with raising taxes on these billionaires or whatever. If for nothing else but personal preservation and because they failed in giving back to society.
