Not sure if others have opinions, but I remember when Andrew Yang was campaigning he talked about going after individual's wealth as the incorrect strategy since their wealth lies in their companies e.g. Amazon... and that a better strategy would be to implement a 20% VAT tax so we're gaining value from every transaction of their businesses that's hard to game and quite effective.A VAT has the advantage of being simple to administer, and it's capturing the gains made via automation at every step of the chain.
Sounds good if true, and I believe most other countries have figured this out and implemented one. We don't talk about it here though.
