I wish I had a nickel for every time someone has blindly asserted to me that we can't tax investments and securities, as if it's some unimaginable thing to assess something's value when property taxes achieve that goal every single year.

At this point I'm convinced that wealth disparity is just a knob they twist by printing money and doing stock market manipulation, and they found the right spot where we keep working and are terrified to strike, and also complacent enough to keep just watching TV and trying to ignore the ridiculousness.

State controlled social media generates the signal they interpret to know how much to twist the inflation knob, AI and misinformation is another knob they twist to allow greater wealth disparity by convincing people their hunger pains are caused by something else, and it's like a weird management game to them where they want to keep us working as hard as possible, to the point we won't even take a day off during a fucking pandemic.

Time for the 90% tax rate to return for the next 10 years to get things back in order.

Property taxes don't go up relative to house prices. They go up relative to other homeowners. There is a common misconception that property taxes double if property values double. Absolutely not.

But still fuck oligarchs.
