tax the rich

3% of their net worth annually, give it all to the people. universal basic income.

I could get down with that.

that seems like a pretty small number, even if its based on networth. we can do much better than that.

don't forget that 3% annually over 20 years is still something like almost 60%.

actually a little bit less if you consider how exponential functions work, it's actually exp(-0.6) ≈ 0.5, so it's closer to 50% but still good.
