It's also probably not out of the question to find a way to tax the super low interest loans that the 1% get as well.

That sounds interesting, how do property taxes work where you are?

I found this counter argument pretty compelling: the trouble is that investments are extremely mobile, and fairly cheap to obfuscate. Incorporating a big effective business is not. Property is not.

Probably enough for universal healthcare. Single payer is cheaper than what we have now.

actually keyes has a thing for that but they never want to do half his things. He basically says in bad times you spend and lower taxes and in good times you tax and save up. its really pretty sensible when you think about it. Congress never really wants to do half of it though. So they lower taxes and spend fine but never shift to saving and raising taxes.

Did you read the article? The tax is in the form of mandatory share dilution that can't be evaded. Obviously more thorough changes are preferable, but this is a system that could work immediately.

the problem there is it was money out of thin air. If taxes had been increase and we did not run with debt inflation would not be an issue. money gets put in and taken out.

This is the study you may be referencing to. It does not say what you think it does and instead puts the half the blame on Federal government spending. It does not break out this as just the stimulus sent to the average person.

Here we see an entirely different conclusion.

"the authors find that world import price inflation was mostly driven by global forces rather than country-specific supply shortages or demand surges."
