Guess we’ll just have to deal with things being slightly more inconvenient for awhile then, or we’ll be dealing with an inhospitable planet otherwise.
"we" wouldn't even have to be inconvenienced, and would likely have our quality of life actually increase if only a small group of people would be willing to part with money they're hoarding that they couldn't use even if they lived a thousand lifetimes.
The people doing the stealing are the capitalists underpaying you for your labour and profiting off of the commodification of essentials (food, water, shelter, utilities, accessibility), redistributing that wealth is the only just thing to do, and the only people it harms is them, while the rest of society could finally thrive.
This just in, taxes are only for the poors. Taxing the rich is now called "stealing" 🙄
