Tárgy: Re: [unSYSTEM] Article about rise of libertarianism in the UK
Everybody wants freedom for themselves. Tyrants aren't willing to give freedom to others, usually because they are terrified of everyone (thinking of Stalin's paranoia).

I think turning up the resolution beyond "rich vs poor" will demonstrate more complex strategies at work here. When governments propose "taxing the rich", it's usually the 0.0001% who actually write the laws (not necessarily gov) asking the bottom 80% to support putting obstacles up to block the top 10% (the controller's competitors) from actually overtaking them. So "taxing the rich" doesn't tax all the rich, because the people who write the laws always put loopholes in for them and their friends.

If the money supply is fair, not rigged, then the only way the super wealthy can cash in on their wealth is by giving it to others in exchange for goods. Then they have less wealth and the only way for them to get it back is to do things for other people. If they never do things for other people, then they go bankrupt after a while.

Money is just supposed to encode how much you've contributed to the economy minus how much you've taken. It's not perfect, and the fiat system skews it beyond recognition, but that's the idea of money. It's just memory.
