A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

This is the stupidest fucking thing I've read today and I've read some proper dumbass takes in the past 12 hours... But this still takes the cake.
No, citizenship based taxation will only ever hurt the average people - those who want to hide their wealth WILL find a way around it.
The only proper solution is to tax wealth above a certain limit, up to 100% tax at one point, and make hiding wealth a criminal offence. Investigate anyone who seems considerably more wealthy than what their tax reports state, and go full confiscation + prison sentence for hidden wealth.
To be fair, the other commenter made me realise it is also a stupid idea.
Just making hiding wealth a criminal offence isn't enough, in my view. Any public officeholder should never once have had a well-paid job at a corporation.
I mean yes, that sort of corruption also needs addressing.
But it isn't fair to exclude people from well-paying jobs just because they used to serve the public at one time. There's plenty of legitimate reasons why one might move on to a well-paying job, that doesn't involve favours being passed around.
I mean, my idea is moreso centered around making it harder for people in public offices to ever have been corrupted by privatisation.
