  I think we are on the same page, to be honest.

  My point is: the power should be with the people, as you said. Capital creates power. So let’s use a wealth tax to distribute it back to the people (and improve their living standards, drastically, while we are at it).

  Money is not the problem. Money is being used to translate the value of the real resources that the Uber rich hold.

  They don’t hoard money. They hoard companies, houses, stocks, bonds, debt.

  When you work to create a surplus? It goes to them. When you pay your landlord? It goes to them. When you pay taxes? Believe it or not, it also goes to them through the form of interest debt.

  You gotta weed that shit out at the root. Tax wealth not work.

  Why would a wealth tax not fix this?

  We need a wealth tax, is what you want to say. Tax wealth not work.

  Wealth tax is very popular across voters. Now is the time to push for it.

  1. Zack doesn’t have to be elected to push the Overton window on this. Look at what Garage accomplished over the last years, and he got his first MP, when, a year ago or so?

  2. we need to be compassionate with each other. Remember that reform voters get propaganda served all day every day, and so it’s natural for them to accept it at some point. Don’t hate the people for it when they can barely feed their kids.

  3. the right has a very compelling story: your living conditions are bad because of the foreigners. They keep telling that story again and again, and on a superficial level it seems to make sense. We need an alternative, positive story that is forward looking. How do we want our future to look like?
