How would you even begin to implement something like that? Who would be in charge of the redistribution? It's a total fairy tale.
Quoting: HI.Lander We could start by separating church and state (already done) AND separating corporations and state. Get corporations and their influence OUT of government, make monetary lobbying illegal, vote out all those on the take, and vote in only people who have the greater interests of society in mind. Figure out an optimum income level for comfortability, and tax all income over that figure at 90%. That's pretty much how it was back during the Eisenhower administration. Reenact Glass-Steagle and shift the risk from financial gambling from the public to the gamblers. Use that 90% tax to ensure that everyone has a reasonable standard of living through earned income credits, and free education. Eliminate interest on loans, and abolish central banks. For starters. No one has commented on this. Is something along these lines a viable solution? Extend the Earned Income Credit from the current $20K to, say, $50K, so that everyone who actually works is subsidized to have a $50K income. Have an income ceiling of, say, $500K, above which is taxed at 90%. Anyone who wants to pursue a higher education pays for it based on their ability to pay.
