On: When the Rich Said No to Getting Richer

[sharemywin]

If you believe that too much wealth equates to too much power in a democracy then the simplest tax code would be all wealth over X is taxed at 100% all transgressions are punishable by death. Personally, I think that's a little harsh but some people only see black and white.

Hah my hft bot would double stock value of apple for 1 second and a bunch of automatic deaths would be handed down to investors.

I think gp said that it would be taxed at 100%, not that one couldn't keep over x at a time.

Sure we started at 100% tax, and then moved on to death panels for breaking the rule ;)
