How do you expect these social services to be paid for? We are paying for them currently with debt. In the fifties the richest people were taxed a lot. As I recall it was 90% on income more than something that is really low like $200k. That was a lot of money back then. Those people lived exciting lives of travel and comfort, my husband’s grandfather was an executive in New York at a major network. He was comfortable. Still comfortable in his nighties, he was disgusted by what executives make these days. Meanwhile, we are unable to provide the basics to our population and are swimming in debt.
In addition, you have clearly never been a poor(er) person near real wealth or you wouldn’t ask.
