    FYI when we’re talking about taxing the rich and wealth we’re not talking about doctors and lawyers even if they still make a fuck ton because they are still getting paid for their labour and they need to work in order to maintain their lifestyle even if they would be considered rich.

    What we’re talking about are people who make their living through their capital I.e. due to the exploitation of other people.
