I propose a targeted "Assets Tax" |
|
Basically, anybody who recieved a golden parachute in excess of $5,000,000 at any time in the past eight years should have to pay 51% of their current assets in taxes.
Time to go after the assholes who made out when they raided the finance and investments sectors to line their pockets only to have the taxpayers pick up the tab.

1. I see your point, but I don't THINK you can do retro like that. |
|
Targeting NEW ONES however is a great idea!
