    I think you forgot the “details” part. Fortunes of people like Musk and Bezos exist in their stake of the companies they own not in traditional taxable wages that the rest of us earn. How do you tax that and who’s going to implement it? Democrats and Republicans both kowtow to these people.

      Ohhhh, so you’re saying the USA can’t do what China did because their politicians are all corrupt and put billionaires above the continued existence of the human species.

      Thanks!

        No, I said nothing of the sort. I’m not sure why you’re acting so negatively after simply being asked to explain an idea that you proposed all on your own.

        Now I’m also curious how cheap, disposable vehicles built on the other side of the planet are our only hope for the “continued existence of the human species.” Can you explain that too?
