You can have a parasitic wealth class with a goods out trade arrangement. This is China’s situation


There's nothing wrong with a parasitic wealth class. They have been running the Netherlands against all adversaries quite successfully for 500 years.

You just need to tax them.


Being raised Republican, you are taught from elementary age that taxes are morally evil. They should only be imposed as necessary and as a disincentive against evil behavior.

Also the government is incompetent, bloated, and also evil. The only truly good government is god and his appointed ~grifters~ [messengers].

I wish I was joking. That's what I was taught at home for like 30y.
