I'm sure it's annoying for some to click offsite, but it's 20 panels long. IMO worth the read, though!

The solution is an income and wealth tax tied to minimum wage. I also like a maximum wage (100% tax beyond) and a maximum wealth (ditto) including unrealized gains both tied also to minimum wage.

    That can be part of a solution. You also need to plug up holes like "it's not a wage - i just got a personal loan using my company stock as collateral".

    Oh, absolutely. Unrealized gains would include company stock and I'm not sure banks will be giving big loans on limited stock.

    I have other ideas like corporations not being able to own Intellectual property (or severely restricted terms for such ownership), Abolishing political parties, abolishing organized religion, maximum corporation size (revenue and employee count) etc.
