Well not a tiny bit. Increase taxes in the 0.1% a whole fuckload. I’d increase taxes on billionaires to 90% and start freezing assets of anyone who tries to go overseas to avoid them. levy the world’s strongest ever economic and geopolitical sanctions against countries that harbor billionaire american tax evasion expats or something.

Ok what do you do when foreign investment dries up and no foreign entity wants their money in your bank since you have a habit of seizing it? How strong is the economy then?

I don’t think you understand the consequences

Won’t happen if they still want access to your markets.

No one wants access to markets that seize money or companies. It is why Venezuela isn’t seeing foreign investment.

If foreign money isn’t coming in your economy us going to be very weak comparatively.
