I think we are on the same page, to be honest.

My point is: the power should be with the people, as you said. Capital creates power. So let’s use a wealth tax to distribute it back to the people (and improve their living standards, drastically, while we are at it).

Money is not the problem. Money is being used to translate the value of the real resources that the Uber rich hold.

They don’t hoard money. They hoard companies, houses, stocks, bonds, debt.

When you work to create a surplus? It goes to them. When you pay your landlord? It goes to them. When you pay taxes? Believe it or not, it also goes to them through the form of interest debt.

You gotta weed that shit out at the root. Tax wealth not work.

Why would a wealth tax not fix this?

We need a wealth tax, is what you want to say. Tax wealth not work.
