The problem with your argument is that it fails to take into account marginal tax rates. While I agree with your point of view - there is a lot of overlap between our world views here - the facts are that you are confusing effective tax rates with top marginal tax rates. A 90% top marginal rate on income over $1M means that the lower brackets apply to the first $X of income. That 90% only kicks in against money after the first $1M. So if total taxable income is $1,000,001, that 90% marginal rate only applies to that single dollar.
Regardless, though, your argument is reinforced by this - it will pull in even less money than your argument referenced a few posts ago.

I think we haven't done enough to separate these two concepts. We're confusing manipulative lies with opinions incompatible with the worldview of a segment of the population, and it will destroy us.
But in China, every citizen is property and asset of the state. Every person a government employee or resource. That's why not toeing the line in China gets you tossed in the gulag or worse - everyone is a slave who must be obedient to the CCP masters.
Fatcats don't hoard money - they invest it, creating further economic activity. The money doesn't leave the economy unless somebody sinks it into gold, art, or real estate.
I'm actually all for UBI, provided they kill the minimum wage and a bunch of social programs along with it. It would increase efficiency overall, be a boon to small employers and their employees, and raise the standard of living for the lower 50%.
The problem will be when able bodied people decide to live only on UBI and nothing else. That's detrimental to society and a mechanism should be put in place to prevent that.
Smoking pot in your parents' basement and collecting a check from the government to pay for your weed and doritos is not a valid occupation.
NHS and other non-US markets negotiate prices with drug companies, often forcing them to sell those medications at a loss or lose access entirely to that market. In order to make that loss back, they have to shift the cost of the drug to markets who do not force pricing - especially the USA. That's one big reason why the US has jacked up prices - we are effectively subsidizing medical treatments for the rest of the world.
When you implement price controls and force a producer to sell something at a loss, they have to jack up the price elsewhere, or else go out of business. TANSTAAFL.
Farm equipment such as combines and tractors are already self guided via GPS, so yes - you can have an off-road vehicle with an autopilot.
I imagine for recreational uses, traditional cars, motorcycles, RVs and the like will all be around for a while with manual drive.
Holy crap though - an autopilot on an RV would be awesome. You can get up and grab a sandwich, take a leak, screw your wife, whatever - all while driving down the interstate.
"need" is defined in the law and has been redefined as part of the 'doc fix' that was passed a couple years ago. We can split hairs on 'need' but in the end, we do have public healthcare for children.
We cannot comment on specific patents, not now, not ever. Red Hat has determined that it is now acceptable for Fedora to include MP3 decoding functionality (not specific to any implementation, or binding by any unseen agreement). Encoding functionality is not permitted at this time.
It appears Red Hat has entered into some sort of double secret licensing agreement with Fraunhofer that they can't disclose the details on.

I don't want to hear about it, dear. Here's a kleenex box - keep it in your room. Don't forget to lock the door.

That's not true. Nicotine is directly associated with increased stroke and heart attacks. It attacks the venous system.

The "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" argument. Instead of putting people in mental hospitals, we now put them in prisons.
Cook County Jail in Chicago is the country's largest mental health facility.

I was jumping up and down while my 7 year old kid was rolling his eyes and trying desperately to watch Pokemon on the cell phone.
Sure, because poll tests have worked out so well in the past.

Article 5 of the Constitution provides for those kinds of things.
See, here's the issue.

You sure about that?
> Children in US dont have healthcare because the govt is busy spending billions on hight tech toys like Patriots.
Oh cut the crap. Children who need it have had free healthcare since 1997.
That's because he's agreeing with you.
> "You can't take an 18-month training program and produce a machine-learning scientist."
That's fine - if you're looking for machine-learning scientists.
Unfortunately, the majority of the recipients of these H1B's are low paid scab labor, imported to cut labor costs.
Raising the cost of H1B's should take care of that loophole while still allowing GoDaddy to import their "machine-learning scientists".
Deplorable.
No, this is called Punitive Damages
