The United Arab Emirates has condemned a request from Israel's extremist finance minister for support from Gulf and European countries to fund its ongoing war with Iran, calling the proposal a mark of "moral bankruptcy".
Anwar Gargash, diplomatic advisor to UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, slammed far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Monday after he claimed that he had reached out to Gulf states.

in reply to Cory Doctorow • • •"One frequent objection to high taxes is that it encourages capital flight"
No. When I was young, there were all kinds of laws against capital flight. You could only take a small amount of money on a holiday abroad, for example.
These laws were abandoned by the same parties that now use capital flight as an excuse. But that is a lie: if you want to stop capital flight, just reinstate the old laws.

It is becoming apparent that billionaires are a threat to national security.
So if taxation makes them leave the country: don't threaten me with a good time.

in reply to Cory Doctorow • • •I always thought that a wealth tax made more sense than income tax. Some people will be needing all their income just to live. Others may be doing really great things with their extra income. Excess wealth just sits there.
But I am wondering, what thresholds and what rates might be appropriate? Are we talking billionaires or mere millionaires. Bearing in mind that the average house is now over 1 million in many places.
Im thinking a total combined net worth of say 10 million?? Make it progressive so that it taxes billionaires more than the Tenmillionaires.
