  • I prefer an income cap, 1 million a year, at a standard tax percentage, then all income above 1mil is taxed 100%. Capital gains are treated as income. Any profit is.

    But trading value that has already been taxed is not counted as income. So selling a 10mil house for 11mil is only taxed 1mil, as the 10mil was already taxed as income.

    Same for corps, but with a 10mil profit cap a year.

    The low cap discourages businesses from merging into massive conglomerates that control too much of anything.

    We don’t actually need national or international businesses.

    Of course I also approve of making for-profits outright illegal. So the cap wouldn’t even be relevant for businesses anyway, as they’d all be public services, and any ‘profits’ they made a year would just be put towards more, or better services, or improved employee compensation packages, or subsidizing costs in the future until prices balance back out, or refunds (all depending on the business/industry).






  • Well, it’s kinda impossible to know for sure, as anyone not targeted by the Hitler regime as enemies was still discouraged from publicly, or even privately, disagreeing with the party.

    But there was likely some poll or support data available to scholars at different points that would give an idea of actual support at those points.

    I don’t have those details, and am not who you were asking, but I did hear support dwindled as the US entered the war. And, logically, it was probably higher when he was elected then when the war started getting real nasty.

    Most people start not liking their leadership when their leaders actions cause them personal distress.
