        We have structured our businesses and governments to have a hierarchy where naturally the person at the top has the most authority. Then, we reward the social dominators in society by setting up the perfect system for those who crave authority to achieve authority over others.

        As long as this continues, the next violent weirdo who wants maximum authority will fill the job. Since people like that exist and humans are fallable, then we shouldn’t let anybody have that much power.

    OK great, but super-rich are also super-slippery when it comes to escaping taxes by moving assets abroad - so we need a global agreement about this - what’s the process to make it happen ?

      Companies have to be owned by real people directly and foreign companies are not allowed to operate in the country. They have to set up a new separate company in the country, which then pays taxes. The rest can be done using minimum taxes and being hard on tax heavens.
