Could be. What I always struggle with about any conspiracy, though, is that complexity is very difficult to manage and unpredictable in outcomes. I suspect hubris, rather than evil intent. I see no evidence that billionaires are evil geniuses. More like daft men with issues and born into privilege

Perhaps.

Perhaps not. To be on the safe side, I’d advocate for a 100% rate of tax on income above , oh, $20m.
