If you guys are a stupid as us, your southern neighbors, whipsawing through the economy will mean that 1. this loophole closes and two more open so there will be future whipsawings 2. no wealthy people will be taxed, they will be given loans and handouts and 3. you will elect more dimwits from the same party whose shitty legislation caused the problems in the first place.
It’s nearly perfectly inversely proportional. From this chart we can see that union membership needs to go up to 60% so that top 10% income share drops to 0%. Or ideally union membership can go even higher than that, so they start losing money.
