This is an interesting point to bring up and bears addressing.
See, the problem with “things being too expensive” is that it’s a vicious cycle. Rent is too expensive, which means renters need more money in order to pay their abusive landlords. How do they get that money? Well, they charge more for whatever product/service they provide. Now that’s too expensive.
Something has to give, somewhere, and the first place I’d suggest looking is taxing the ownership class into oblivion.
I’m for taxing them to hell and back just to remove their influence. But I still say, there’s not that many billionaires in the US and most of that money isn’t liquid.
I’ve heard conservatives argue against many solutions because they’re not 100%. NOT where I’m coming from, just saying this isn’t a 100% solution.
You have a great point that health care costs could go down. I firmly believe universal health care would accomplish that, then taxing the snot out of billionaires might cover it.
And regardless of the tax money available, there’s no reason to not do this thing.
