28 January 2014 - rich sacrifice
< yesterday --
tomorrow >
Let’s examine the super-rich again. We can’t efficiently “tax” all of
them, because some of their wealth is in the form of titanium yachts and
mansions full of Matisse paintings, and those things lose value without
other rich people to buy them. We need a few brave volunteers to accept
the terrible sacrifice of all this painful luxury so that everybody
else can be better off. It would be tough, but I believe I have the
necessary spirit.
clue:
Actually we can’t efficiently expropriate all their wealth because,
well, war is never efficient.
take oh take this clue away
