>it'll not harm the rich, I'll tell you that.

Inflation, once it is an actual problem, can be taxed away and we can structure that tax progressively. The rich will pay their fair share.

They'll just leave the United States, then?

Why is it 'fair'? They made their money by giving people things they wanted in exchange for money the people were happy to give them. How is taking it back fair?

Good, they're leeches on society and add nothing of value. If they added value, they wouldn't pay their workers the bare minimum and list them as contractors so they don't get health insurance. Let's encourage more compassionate corporations to expand their operations, and force greedy corporations out. I think we'll all be better off for it.

>Your ethics are atrocious.

Now you're just engaging in personal attacks. "Taxation is theft" libertarian dead-ender thinking. You're going to have to do the work yourself of understanding that there is a cost to maintain the system that enables your exchange and varying opinions as to who should pay that cost. Asserting that the cost doesn't exist is fanciful ignorance.

Good day.
