minus-squareMongostein@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoTaxing rich people to pay for good paying jobs in healthcare, education, and utility/infrastructure maintenance would help everyone. Economies need to be a cycle. If the rich just hoard and don’t spend then we can’t spend either. So if they won’t pay a liveable wage, tax them heavily and start paying liveable wages with the money.
