I've moved back up to Nunavut, where I analyze policy for The Man. I'll drop by from time to time.

Would this qualify as a Fire video? You don't actually see a single explosion, but it documents the biggest explosions in human history. Just wondering.
Actually, I believe very strongly that they really would notice.
And don't tell me I'm the one playing semantics when the video goes on about how the tax is both virtually nothing and worth billions. The game is semantics, but I'm the one that's calling it out for that.
In reply to this comment by Throbbin:
I thought that aspect of it came through pretty clear. 0.05% in taxes is effectively nothing - it's harder to get less intrusive than that.
You play semantics when you know damn well the bankers would hardly notice.

I'd prefer some honesty. You can't defend the tax on BOTH the fact it costs nothing AND that it will raise billions. Be honest and say it will take billions from the rich to give to the poor.
In reply to this comment by Throbbin:
Yes....hence the 'Robin Hood" theme. Robbing from the rich to give to the poor. Sounds like a completely legit idea to me.
Or would you prefer the poor rely on voluntary charity, seeing as how it has worked so well to date?
In reply to this comment by bcglorf:
It costs nothing and it will raise billions!
Don't question it or think about it, just say it fast enough and it'll be true. Or, at least it will be true if the billions raised come out of somebody else's pockets, but truth like that doesn't sound as reasonable.
