    It's "Eighth Planet in (Solar System Rivaling[sic] Ours)", I think. Though I see where you're coming from.

    Single payer would not bankrupt America.

    We can't possibly know for sure.

    I mean, if any other developed country had implemented it, or even something close (especially in difficult times, like after being bombed to shit by the Germans), we could like look at them or something.

    If you focus on the tail of the distribution, sure, the right or left can be made to look totally crazy.

    If it was just the tail that makes decisions based on what an invisible man in the sky says there'd be a lot less of a problem.

    To discover the price you need active buying and selling, which you can't do if the transactions are slow.

    If the government did this people would be screaming from the rooftops and rioting in the streets.

    But when a corporation does it with an app it's just clever business strategy.

    Not 100% sure of this, but imagine only one tulip bulb can be sold per week. We wouldn't know what price people are unwilling to buy it at, because by the time they did (or didn't) buy it the price would have changed.

    You earned it. Paid income tax on what you earned. Paid taxes on all your assets year after year. Why should your children not be able to inherit that when you die

    Because they haven't earned it and paid taxes on it?

    It's not really difficult. It might sound like it's being double-taxed but it isn't, because what is taxed isn't actually money, it's movements of money. This is exactly the same as if you go to bar and buy a beer; the owner pays tax on his profits, and when he spends the rest on a new garage that's income for a builder and he gets taxed on it and so on with whoever he spends it with. The fact that your salary was taxed in the first place is irrelevant.
