    Yes, but that’s not really the point. The point is that “taxing the rich” and “investing in the public” aren’t necessarily the same thing. Just cause the government is collecting money doesn’t mean it’s spending it responsibly. Especially in the (literally) comically-corrupt world of Gotham.

      I have absolute faith that any government willing to tax the oligarchs is also willing to spend it responsibly.

      For example, China is a shithole dystopian nightmare but even they provide food, education, and housing to the most vulnerable.
