    The 90% tax was on income, this is on wealth.

      Which doesn’t really change the point does it. These people are de-facto kings ruling us; their wealth subverts the entire idea of democracy. You can’t tax them out of existence without taxing their wealth because none of them have any actual income. Banks fall all over themselves to fund anything they care to do.

      In any case, 2% isn’t going to do fuck-all even if it gets passed which is hardly a certainty.
