“Instead of trying to orchestrate a costly and not-that-fruitful reshuffling of the pie, perhaps we should just leave the rich to keep expanding it — for their sake, for our sake, and ultimately for the peace of the republic.” 🤌🏼
EATING THE RICH is a hopeless and lunatic policy proposal.
First, the rich aren't even that rich: grabbing all of Jeff Bezos' wealth bankrolls the Federal Government for less than a week.
Second,
"Wealth in a free society is a rough tallying score of how much economic value someone has provided to the rest of us. A rich person’s wealth — bar inheritance and cronyism — is a testament to how much they enriched us."
So we need the rich RICHER, not poorer.
