First of all, our tax system taxes wealth less than it taxes work. That's a problem. That's an even bigger problem now that AI is coming for jobs because there's basically a thumb on the scale, a subsidy in effect from the US government saying, giving you a little more reason to automate a job than you otherwise would because things like capital gains taxes, right, come in lower than things like income taxes.
