Are you familiar much with the conversation in this country about wealth taxes?
Because I'd like to speak about it a little bit.
I think when you say that you see the wealth tax as similar to the income tax, for me that's super interesting.
When I was writing my book, I was reading Hard Times by Charles Dickens.
And they're talking at the time about taxing the factory owners.
And the factory owners say, oh, it's impossible.
If you tax us, we'll throw the factories into the sea.
So I think if you look at history, like it shows, of course, rich people are going to fight against this.
And rich people in this country are fighting against this.
That's good.
I was disgusted.
Do you know what the rest of this politics is?
Yes.
It's the biggest politics show in politics podcast in this country.
I've been telling them aggressively that if they're serious on the economy, they should have you on and they definitely should.
But they mentioned me in their show last night and they said people like Gary Stevenson just want to take money from the rich and give it to the poor.
What do you think about that argument?
You've been doing a lot of work collecting this data, so you are convinced inequality is increasing.
So you're convinced inequality is increasing aggressively?
So the real problem is that top, the very, very top end.
