This video is so funny because you can hear the ever-growing frustration in Gary's voice that people still don't get this simple concept. All the economists and bootlickers arguing against a wealth tax are literally arguing for more tax on themselves and they don't even realise it.
"Governments will be politically forced to step in to try to deal with the growing poverty. But because they do not have the capacity to tax the richest people in society, they are going to tax you. [...] So when you argue for not taxing the very rich, what you are arguing for is the taxation of yourself."
