@paulg Denmark's 60.5% comes with universal healthcare, free university, robust social insurance.

If you start a successful startup in your twenties, a 2% wealth tax with a $50 million threshold means that over the course of your life the government will take 65% of your stock. Why so much? A wealth tax compounds. paulgraham.com/wtax.html

@EneaszWrites Denmark's 60.5% tax rate comes with universal healthcare, free university, robust social insurance. Paulg neglected to include that in his math.

Paul Graham "Each 1% of wealth tax=20% of income tax. It's clear that politicians don't get this from the way they talk about a "mere 1%" wealth tax. None of them would speak of adding a "mere 20%" to the income tax rate In the median case, US state politicians talking about adding a "mere 1%" wealth tax are talking about causing the residents of their state to have the highest taxes in the world. I'm optimistic that we can teach them. The answer's not hard to understand, once you realize the question exists." paulgraham.com/winc.html

@JamesSurowiecki And he surely doesn’t have a six pack

Trump doesn't even drink.

@ericries Amen. I wish most people were this thoughtful

I wish most voters were half as thoughtful as this

Eat the rich! But first tax the bejesus out of them

They’re going to cover his trials on TV though right?

@iamJamesBaldwin FYI if you share Apple News+ story links, people without Apple News+ (most people) can't read the stories. If you share the web versions (thedailybeast.com/jeffrey-epstei…) everyone can read them.

@GlennThrush Are you looking in the “For You” tab? Elmo has ruined that

I do

@PreetBharara The basis of humor is intelligence. One side can’t do humor or (unintended) irony.

Jokes are supposed to be funny

California’s public university system FTW

@JasonKander The plot, his soul. Lots of things lost. Anyway, here’s the link with the whole story amp.kansascity.com/news/local/art…

Dude are you serious right now? That’s a picture of a Marine treating a gunshot wound. Politics has caused you to lose the plot entirely.

@KnowaWasTaken Thank you! You’re an inspiring reminder that we need to do better for future generations

@KnowaWasTaken Let’s make it happen, Knowa!

@GlennThrush Truth in advertising should require it to be called the “Fuck You” tab because it’s an endless stream of Russian propaganda now

I tend to use the ‘for you’ more often to open things up a bit…
