"His point being: you need to meticulously comb through everything that someone owns to properly tax their riches. And AI surveillance, he says, makes this not only possible but practical."
Let's say this guy is worth $18.5 billion and the IRS only taxes him on 10 billion because that's what they found. That's still $10 billion worth of new taxable income or at least It's at least 10 billion getting taxed at a higher percent.
He's acting like this has never been done before or like more jobs can't be created to do this.
And they get to surveil the surveillance. That way it will be fair.
How is this different from communism again they said?
Sounds like he's arguing for the ultra rich to be on a watch list
