MODERATORS
Wealth inequality is killing quality if life. We would like to put that wealth to productive use through taxation and government investments, but setting it on fire (metaphorically) would still leave the average person better off.
If we can't tax it or destroy it, then people will be pushed further and further until they have nothing to lose, and after that, things will get ugly.
