    Personally, I would argue that taxing them is helping the economy.

    Basically, even with only a 2% wealth tax, that’s money that would otherwise just sit in some account as shares or something that would only serve to make the wealthy more wealthy.

    By moving the funds to the people by way of taxes, the money can be utilized for social programs, like housing and healthcare for the poor for example. Which would then give those people an easier path to sobriety (if needed), a “fixed address” so they can enroll in job training or simply get a job, since most jobs require you to have a fixed address for seemingly no good reason…

    My point is, the money could be used to enhance the lives of all citizens. Rather than just people like that asshole.
