Everyone is talking about how bad the ideas in this Piketty proposal are, and it's true: They're very bad.

@RazzberryYams There was a lot of fear mongering by experts based on no evidence. This leads to distrust. If you're going to recommend massive changes in behaviour, you should have evidence to back it up.
