Well, if we can't solve every problem in one fell swoop, I guess we should just give up.

That’s not at all what I’m saying. I’m not saying we shouldn’t raise taxes for the ultra-wealthy, just that we should also spend time on solving the structural issues that prevent efficient and effective allocation of capital, both new and existing.

Sorry, false alarm. That's my bad, rereading I don't get the sense I originally did, I'll attempt to read with a more generous mindset in the future.

I completely agree. IMO part of the problem is there's a bunch of theories on how to improve the situation, but economics is so... difficult(?) that any proposal can be argued against, especially in the realm of politics. I don't really know how to fix that. I think we just need to try some things to be honest, run some experiments.
