    A dozen other countries have tried it and it’s worked great. Stop demanding we keep making the same mistakes.

      Literally false. Several countries even literally ruled them unconstitutional, lol.

      The only countries that still have a “wealth tax” do not have a tax that’s aimed at the wealthiest individuals, which is what you guys want, and what you think it’ll accomplish–instead, they’re broadened so much that they’re just ‘ordinary’ taxes that are no more ‘focused’ on the wealthiest than any other, making the whole thing redundant/pointless.

        OK, I see the weird place you’re coming from. Carry on, I guess. I’ll just block and move on.

          Oh no, this website won’t confirm my biases, better find an excuse to ignore even the most easily-verifiable facts it states, instead of even beginning to allow the possibility that I was ever wrong about anything!

          Ideologues and their fragile egos just can’t handle being proven wrong.
