Wealth inequality is killing quality if life. We would like to put that wealth to productive use through taxation and government investments, but setting it on fire (metaphorically) would still leave the average person better off.
If we can’t tax it or destroy it, then people will be pushed further and further until they have nothing to lose, and after that, things will get ugly.
He really won’t like what people replace ‘tax’ with if they’re not allowed to say “tax the rich.”

“Ax the rich”.
and my ax (to kill rich people with)
Wrong. Tax is real threat for them, anything else – isn’t.

You’re seriously using the exceptional, almost unique, case as an argument?
Brooother this guy is dense. We are proposing to kill/eat the rich in general. Thats obviously more of a threat than taxes.
I actually agree what I think he meant was that the rich would rather be killed than taxed. Maybe it was just phrased poorly
collectivization >.<
Right up until the moment it is.
Everything dies. We literally do not know how to stop this. We’re real good at helping it along though.
The uber rich didn’t build a bunch of bunkers to protect themselves from…taxes.
