Many protesters had wanted a full wealth tax to be reintroduced.

Why? Just to punish the rich for being rich?

“Why? Just to punish the rich for being rich?”

No, to get their money.

The problem in statist, highly bureaucratic, socialist systems - the rich are so because they have worked the system, because they are insiders and cronies of the nomenklatura.

Ever wonder why now America's wealthiest counties all surround Washington DC?
