Seems like reducing their wealth is a win for everyone. Even the billionaires, because they're less likely to suffer the consequences of instability, and won't even notice the money taxed.
Even the billionaires, because they're less likely to suffer the consequences of instability guillotine.
I wonder if Sam Altman has thought about this, or is too busy fighting rape alligations?
Oh he is thinking about it, just he is thinking instead of paying more in taxes he would rather use the same amount of money to build walls, hire a private militia to protect his property, us his AI to spy on the people, bribe politicians to prioritize his safety, and build a bunker for when things get really bad.
Capitalists would rather do anything but pay more in taxes and they are too stupid to realize paying taxes is the best option for themselves and everyone else.
Not sure about Sam Altman specifically because he apparently still lives in a house accessible enough to Molotov, but billionaires in general have been buying remote islands and building bunkers like Bond villains for a while now.
