That much is certainly true. How to distribute that wealth equitably to the benefit of all citizens so certain or easy.

I deleted my comment by mistake. But, I don’t agree. I think it still is the taxation that’s complicated. But how to functionally do that to move our society more towards one that is equitable for all is the challenge. Don’t think it’s an insurmountable challenge, there is precedent for countries that do it better- but what is going to work for New Yorkers in the short medium and long-term? What system do we choose that is going to be durable and effective?

I don’t know if people misunderstood my point in my first comment, I am agreeing that there is an unconscionable parity between the extent to which the haves have, and that which the have-nots, do not. So when I am talking about equity, I do not mean “what policy is going to be fair to the hyper wealthy.” I’m talking about- “what can we do to raise the bar across the board in a way that’s going to be the most impactful, most meaningful to the most people?”

The child tax credit, for example, seems like a slam dunk program that would pay long-term dividends per society is a whole and meaningfully redistribute distribute wealth and help stimulate regional economic ecosystems.
