    "political goal"?
    The survival of technical civilization is at stake.
    There is nothing political about solving the only real problem, to wit, coal profiteers buying orange-haired liars, since the alternative is droughts, floods, desertification, famine and war.

    Wrong.
    The states can indeed get a court to compel Trump to act in accord with the law and require "Best technology" to abate a danger, as spelled out in the clean air act.
    Like all fascisti, all you can see is the power of the gun. It's a pity all the nukes are designed and built in Blue California, isn't it?

    Welll,no.
    The material needed in finished form is small, but the ores are very dilute,
    Litterally, every ton of raw middle-grade ore produces GRAMS of fissile Uranium.
    That energy / material cost was not figured in
    There are the 9600 year storage costs to include of course.
    No one really thinks the Nuclear Profiteers are going to pay for secure storage for longer than 4 times the lifespan of the Roman Empire, but that material will still be costing long after the civilizations that use it are forgotten, their languages relegated to books in obscure university town libraries.

    I agree.
    Reward work, penalize compounding
    thus, those who inherit or gain via existing wealth profit most by the economy and government, and should pay the majority of those costs.
    I'd start with attaching state sales tax rates to every single stock transaction, thus ending the socially worthless arbitrage movement overnight.
    Long term salubrious effects would be investing in startups and HOLDING THE STOCKS for actual market returns, rather than speculative gains.

    Sounds decent to me.
    How cool would it be if the taxes were based entirely on surplus (investable) income, from any source?
    Thus the single mom putting out for Child care automatically is taxed at both a lower percentage of gross income AND a lower percentage of "surplus"?
    The only other idea that looks feasable would be an "Unearned income tax" wherein all income NOT due to labor, but return on excess (profits) is taxed at a higher rate, since we really need to disincentivize wealth centralization.
    Or do we?

    HOWEVER, Progressive Income Taxes are how you apportion costs among the inheritance class
    Pity is that even Progressive taxation permits wealth centralization.
    Until the NET, TOTAL tax bill of the top 0.1% = the 40% paid in excise, income, sales and transfer taxes paid by the bottom 40%, there is nothing to whine about.
