Do you think inequality should increase or decrease?

If we keep current spending the same. We could reduce the % the top 1% bare by reducing inequality and by having the 99% earning and paying more tax.

Or we could reduce taxes for the 1% and reduce spending which would likely increase inequality.

I agree that equality is a desireable goal. But, this argument doesn’t persuade people who don’t care about equality.

Better is to focus on the benefits gained bu the wealthy from stable legal systems, public health, education etc. If you are Bezos your money is only possible because these expensive services are paid for. You gin more than most, and so must pay a greater share than most.
