Isn’t that what property taxes do?
siphoning wealth off the hard work of the labor force isn't fair either. yet here we are, with some of the biggest wealth gains over a year, and rather than give raises and bonuses to those that made the wealth for the company, CEOs and shareholders are walking away with money they didn't work for.
Communism always just results in everybody being poor. If you have a better alternative to capitalism, I'm all ears.
Did I mention Communism? no I simply said there is a wealth discrepancy between those that actively labor, to build the goods that provide the wealth for a company, and those that sit at the top and gain at the expense of others. would it be so bad to balance that a bit more evenly?
Average wages have gone up
not enough, since 1979 workplace productivity has outpaced wage increase by 3.5x. get that, people are more productive then ever, wages have barely gone up in that time. all the whole, that extra productivity is just wealth thats being hoarded.
That’s a stretch
