We should do as Oxfam suggests implicitly: tax those billionaires at very high rates on income above say, five million dollars. Ethicist Peter Singer advocates that we who can help the poor do so with as much money as possible.
Economic patriots like Buffett and Gates advocate such. They demand to pay more taxes and they give to charities billions.
The free market underpays the poor and overpays the super rich, so the ethical measure to implement means to tax the latter more!The poor just don't get enough money so that is why they are poor, not because as that bigot former Rep. Leroy Gingrich avers, because they are lazy and need to learn to work.
What do you suggest?
This idea goes back early in the history of this Union.
