It doesn't apply to the masses by definition. Just whoever has "too much" of anything, where "too much" can indeed be defined in a problematic way.

that’s not true, or requires being dim towards the economic reality.

The UK is a great example of how progressive taxation hasn’t really worked out - our former PM paid about 20% while earning millions while someone earning £100k can be hit with 60%[1]

These ‘great ideas’ require economically illiterate proponents to pass muster.

The problem there is that the UK doesn't apply the progressive taxation to everyone, not that progressive taxation is a bad idea.

Who decides when one has too many of something?

Democratically elected people?

Either we as a society decide on these matters or "the market" does. Turns out the market always decides there's no such thing as too much.

Who would've guessed it?

That’s what I thought. So level to the bottom. This website starts turning into garbage. Everyone’s robin hood here.

At the point where you’re against Robin Hood, you should be asking yourself “am I the bad guy?”.

“You want to stop me monopolising medication to sell at the maximum possible cost? Everyone’s bloody Mother Theresa in this utter hellhole.”
