@stux@mstdn.social We had those, they were TAXES, way back when the US was a functional country, when the then-billionaires (adjust money values) paid over 80% income tax.
They used to flaunt that tidbit among each other in a competition of vanity.
Then, US had state funded child care, healthcare, best infrastructure and education in the world. People left high school with a job, and that job would pay for your life, comfortably.
What a thought. Maybe we should go back to that.
