Reducing the state quota, cutting bureaucracy, lowering taxes and less ideological politics would probably help😅

@stefan_21 Much of this could be realized with a sensible wealth and inheritance tax. Unfortunately, this continues to be prevented

@Geldmachtschoen How would this be implemented? Norway tried to tax the "really rich" more heavily a few years ago. Guess what happened: 80% of those affected emigrated - at least on paper. The result: tax revenues fell. As long as there is no global tax system (and there certainly won't be one in the next few decades), this is completely illusory.

@KevinC What we really need is hard money as the basis of society so that everyone is forced to play by the same rules. The really rich are so rich because they are the first to benefit from the newly created money. If you already have a lot of money, you naturally get higher loans on better terms and can use it to buy real estate, for example, which in turn increases in value because, unlike our money, it is scarce. In the same way, asset prices rise from year to year because our money does not fulfill a central function of gold, the value storage function. If you have little money and don't know your way around financially and can't save your money because a bit of purchasing power is taken away from you every year, you're pretty much screwed.
Everyone is always crying out for more taxes and control without getting to the root of the problem.
