If progressive taxation outcompetes exponentiality, empirically it never has, not even in the most progressive states, as we see that the wealth gap still increases, even in most European nations.

I don't mind that, though, I think outsized reward is fair for outsized value creation. Where I disagree is that it should last more than a generation, and I believe that higher taxes should be levied to raise the standard of living for the bottom rung.

I believe in wealth and income in equality.

> I think outsized reward is fair for outsized value creation

How do you define "fair" and how do you define "value creation"? And how do I get to be the administrator who gets to make those calls, so that I can make sure that my friends and family's "value creation" classes are put before everyone else's?
