Through taxes as i understand it. i assume the money would be distributed
to all manner of programs including infrastructure, military, social, etc....just a bigger amount of money to play with. its what they do now with taxes (and its not somebody just making arbitrary decisions).
ive always been a free market capitalist and continue to be one. but anyone with half a brain can see whats happening right now and a diminished middle class is bad for this country. i dont have the answers nor am i saying that taking more money from the rich is good (or bad). but the wealth disparity is growing and there are people in this world that can literally buy entire countries if they want to.
i think there was one guy once that had this level of wealth (Mansa Musa), now there are lots of them (not quite his level but getting there). thats 10,000 years of human history and suddenly in a span of 150 years theres this many insanely rich people? if we look throughout history, how well has it gone when a vast majority of a nation is poor and the wealth is amassed with a relative few? just open a history book and look at all the revolutions, reigns of terror, etc....over the last 500 years alone
