Not just taxes, I want wealth caps
Nobody should have a networth over 1 million
Net worth of over a million? That's way too low, sorry. If you buy even one house and pay it off, you are practically in that territory now.
I'd be fine with a cap of one billion, adjusted for inflation every year.
I'd go with half a billion, just to be sure nobody gets near a billion.
You're part of the problem.
Inflation is calling. They wanted to let you know that a very very modest homeowner in an unfashionable part of town in many cities around the world, is over 1 million. The people squeeking by aren't the problem. Aim higher.
Oh no, how will people survive with a net worth of only $1 million????
What's your net worth, by the way?
If you inherited your house from your parents, you could be penniless and have a net worth over $1 million.
$1 million is an arbitrary number and is not what it used to be, even 5 years ago. Even if you count everyone with $5 million net worth on one side and everyone over that on the other, the over $5 million side still owns most of the global economy.
The guy doing well in the next neighborhood over has essentially nothing to do with the wealth gap and resulting economic stagflation. The people with "too much" money have so much of it that it evades human comprehension.
So... sell the house and you have $1 million to buy a more modest place to live and you will still have hundreds of thousands of dollars left over.
Everyone who says a net worth of $1 million isn't enough should look at their own net worth before sucking off people who have more.
You need to travel more and see the world. I mean this with no offense intended, but you comment smacks of naivety. Context matters.
"A more modest place". I bought one of the smallest, shittiest oldest places in the unfashionable sectors of my city and it hit a mil 15 years ago. There is nothing shittier. To get cheaper I have to leave the city altogether where my profession doesn't exist. Your war is not against "homeowners". We should aspire to raise everyone up and out of precarity, not shoot everyone who is not poor.
I'm priceless. ;)
Always a laugh seeing suckers get taken for a ride.
You don't get invited to parties very often do you? This is why.
Lol, keep being wrong.
I completely agree.
Everyone saying $1 million isn't enough should consider how many people go their entire lives without making anywhere near a million dollars.
We should be helping those who have less before those who have more.
