    Also, all of it is populist or activist bullshit that will do absolutely nothing to improve the economic outlook or peoples lives.

          A tax on any income from capital and automatic wage indexation are effective policies.

          They don’t deliver paradise (US has wealth tax, Belgium has indexation), but neither will these reforms.

            US does not have a real wealth tax and you can see this by how every study shows the wealthy avoiding taxation in the US and how wealth inequality is the highest in the world in the US.
