The pitch to the rich should be that they can become even richer in absolute terms by making changes to reduce inequality as the present distribution of wealth is suboptimal for maximising GDP.
ReplyWe already lost the war with the Citizens United SCOTUS ruling. So long as corporations are people, you can stop dreaming of a wealth tax.
ReplyWow… The questions he choose to ask the eminent personalities he interviews is just awesome… Great job Trevor and the whole Daily Social Distancing Show Team… 🙂
Replyi have a genuine question, not troll. I am argentinian, and we have that economic model over 20 years. Why that model don’t work in my country?
ReplyCapitalism with government subsidies & bail-outs using tax-payers’ money is a joke, even worse than socialism.
ReplyI like this interview and it reminds me John Rowl’s theory of justice .thanks to both of you sir. 🙋♀️
ReplyWhat I would ask billionaires and millionaires regarding a wealth tax is, do you want to drive through slums? Do you want to have to live in a gated area? Do you want to have to be afraid for yourself, your loved ones, and your property? If the answer is no, then be prepared to pay your proportional part for a better, safer, cleaner, and more equal environment.
ReplyReform? Get back to work for more winning!!! https://youtu.be/G5asHBqGhZY
Replytheuh accent français ize soh kioute!
ReplyI don’t know how Trevor kept a straight face when TP said “Wedgies for everyone”.
ReplyI can yell this until my face turns blue and my parents still dismiss me as being radical. They insist capitalism is best economic system. If this crisis doesn’t convince them that capitalism’s priorities are perverse, then I can’t count on them to use logic to make their decisions
ReplyWhat a nice interview,I have enjoyed……those willing to help out https://www.gofundme.com/f/kp5ksh-school-tuition-fund?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link-tip&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet
ReplyI have little hope for America as long as the Republican Party dominates the government and continues its attacks and sabotage of Obamacare, Social Security, Medicare, public education, the national parks system, environmental protections, etc.
Even when Republicans are not in charge, they are able to obstruct everything that is aimed at helping the poor and middle class. Then they sit back, laugh and point to the Democrats, successfully labeling them as the “tax and spend party” while simultaneously labeling them as the “do nothing party.”
ReplyI believe Capitalism must be removed. But I am open to reformation as well until then.
ReplyThat’s why UBI actually makes sense
ReplyReform??? That ship sailed a long time ago. Capitalism is not worth reforming
ReplyGreat! Subtitles would make it perfect.

ReplyCapitalism, outplayed and dominated by China. A communist ideology to which American have devoted all her resources to bring it all down.
Now, which large corporations can say no to China, she has all of them at her mercy.
Dance, sing and jump as China pleases, your greed has inevitably brought all of you down to your knees.
That’s where it really hurt, you re doing it to yourself
