why not just raise income tax rates?

because your real intent is not to just “provide healthcare”.

you’re masking that you are proposing the creation of, for the first time in the 250 years of this American republic, an organized government seizure of private property from citizens.

you’re calling it a “wealth tax” or a “billionaires tax” or “millionaires tax” or whatever nom du jour polls well. but at the end of the day, it’s the seizure of private property from citizens by the government. citizens that earned money, paid their fair taxes on those earnings (53% if they live in California) and are now being told they need to hand over after-tax assets because the government has failed to provide promised services with the revenue it’s collected, and are now re-casting their own failure to be a socio-economic inequity that must be justly resolved... a slippery slope that has never gone anywhere good (see economic effects in USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, France and Norway wealth tax etc.)

the American founders fled tyranny in Europe and this amazing nation was populated by immigrants (myself and your parents) from around the world not just looking for a “better life” but for a place where they could have freedom from tyrannical governments that can take what they want from private citizens. a great nation borne of property rights, the rule of law, and endowed freedoms to believe, speak, or act. these principles led to the greatest run of innovations, successes, and widespread increase in prosperity, for all citizens, ever seen.

the citizens, the individuals, not the institutions, delivered this progress. those who invented, who toiled, who bled, who sacrificed, who took risk and persevered, who led, and who changed the world, are not charlatans, kleptocrats, or oligarchs. they’re what made us all better off. prosperity is a measure of america’s success, not its failure.

it is your principle that is so offensive, as evidenced by the broad disdain for your flippant flirtation with the darkest of human fantasy - socialism. you and other neo-socialists have led so many of us to reflect on America’s history and what it is becoming. that now leads so many to consider, so unnecessarily, leaving their homes for a place where everyone stands up to shout down the principle you suggest. because if your ideas are now considered moderate, it’s clear this titanic is sinking.

that a “simple tax” of taking assets that have been earned, through toil and tribulation, rightly taxed, and preserved, should now be unjustly seized, is your solution to a problem of obvious government mismanagement and outright fraud, tells us that your true motivation lies not in giving people healthcare but in cutting down success and deleting the system of prosperity and opportunity for all.

i don’t care, and neither should anyone else, what the sum total market value of a private citizens private assets might be. it is none of my business and should be none of yours. because, again, once you open that pandora’s box, we might as well study Lord of the Flies … there is literally nothing stopping 51% of citizens demanding that their government go out and seize 100% of the private property of the 49%.

want to give healthcare to people in need? do your job and fix healthcare. make it affordable. want to be lazy about it? then do your job lazily and raise income taxes.

want to take private property from private citizens who have paid their fair share of taxes and legally earned their property, then honestly declare that it is envy, not inequity, that you strive to resolve…

A powerful reminder: perspective is everything!

I saw this video again today.
Created by the Guardian in 1986.
Still the smartest lesson in human perception.

It hits me every time:
We don’t see reality. We see our angle.
And a small shift can flip the whole story.

In the age of AI, this truth becomes brutal.
Two people can look at the same data, the same model, the same output —
and walk away with opposite conclusions.

Perspective isn’t a soft skill.
It’s a survival skill.

The leaders who win are the ones who can zoom in, zoom out, and question their own certainty.

This old Guardian ad reminds us of a timeless truth:
Change the view. Change the meaning. Change everything.

For decades, renowned epidemiologist Alison Galvani lived with the fear that she’d been raised by the man who killed her mother. Forty years later an arrest was made in a cold case she had spent much of her life trying to bring to light.

@DanielLurie @SFPD Sensational work by SFPD. This will genuinely assist public safety. Go San Francisco!

@garrytan Exactly. Flock & Closure (YC W25) tackle the same challenge. turning raw data into structured intel through ontology engineering and policy. I’ve trained 1K+ detectives on Closure. Systems that organize data responsibly save lives; shutting them off for optics risks public safety

Huge news today from @uaustinorg:

[FunBaseballFacts @FunBaseballFact]

Nancy Faust is a baseball icon.

She was the first stadium organist to play walk-up music for a player. She'd play "Jesus Christ Superstar" whenever White Sox player Dick Allen came to the plate.

Also the first ballpark organist to play, “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" which became a popular song when the home team had a game in the bag.

Her arrangement of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” would get radio announcer Harry Caray so inspired, he would sing the song out loud to himself. One day, owner Bill Veeck put a public address microphone on Caray, and it turned Harry into a baseball icon.

In her 40 seasons with the White Sox, Faust missed only five scheduled dates, all when she gave birth to her son.
