Don’t fall for the ‘tax the rich’ promotional materials. They’ll aim to get wide support with the ‘tax on billionaires’ angle, but it will end up costing anyone who owns anything.
It is a tactic from the communist cultural revolutions: The 'rich' are those who own anything. One gold piece? Off to the gulags. One Cow? Off to the gulags. In China, it was landowners. All land was confiscated by the state. At the moment they are dressing it up as 'tax the billionaires' but what they really want is to get EVERYONE.
