Wealth, Tax, and Inheritance
Details
Edit: changing this to April 30 due to necessity.
You do not have to read anything in order to come. You can approach this academically and cite stuff, or you can just talk based on vibes. It's all good.
Topic: Wealth
Should there be a limit on the amount of money that people can earn?
Should there be a limit on inheritance?
How could such limits help us as a society?
How could such limits harm us as a society?
Should luxury goods be taxed differently than other goods? What should count as a luxury good?
How should tax even work?
This is a place for debate. Debate is great and healthy. It does not involve personal attacks, rudeness, or talking over anybody else. Please vocalize your disagreements(disagreements can be fun! Arguing can be fun and polite!), and please do it kindly.
